“Aspersions” is associated with the psychologist from Austrian of the same name who collaborated with the Nazis and sent children to their deaths. The sentence should now read:

“Shut up, those hotdogs are wonderful and I will hear no spectrum cast against Costco.”

Asperger’s and aspersions are not the same thing, and not even from the same derivation. The latter word is hundreds of years old and has linkages to the disgraced psychologist.

What no it isn't
It comes from a Latin word meaning "a sprinkling", referring to holy water
It's literally five seconds of research to not be wrong

It was intended as an absurd comment as my mind did a weird association thing. But seems like no one got it. Apologies.

Haha. Good call. Clearly I didn’t make the post absurd enough and people think I was serious.
