barb

The Washington Post said Simpson was known for his “barbed wit” and “feistiness.”

The barbed insult of “diversity hire” or “DEI hire” made them feel as though they didn’t quite belong despite their qualifications.

At a refugee camp in Greece in 2021, he decried our “age of walls and barbed wire.”

Enclosed by walls topped with barbed wire, the workers' area of the compound was its own self-contained world, featuring a basketball court, supermarket and restaurants.

Those are the barbs I can quote in a family-friendly newspaper.
