I'm not sure what the actual word that was intended was, but I think it was Baal, the ancient Biblical term. It was used for God, but not THE God...Baal was the other guy's God.
I assumed it was a combination of references to male anatomy and diminished capacity.

It's not bad enough that Steven Hawking passed last week, but the inventor of the protractor died last week.
He's with the angles now
Sad if true.

I'm sure "he's with the angles" was an intentional pun, since a protractor measures angles.

Apparently, if you believe that the earth is round, you are a "ball-tard" in the eyes of the flat earth community. It's not the most creative name I've ever heard. It falls a little... flat.

Oh, so you're saying that the "ball" refers to the globe. That makes sense, but reduces the insult's usability.

No they can't. They just use visual queue's.

Give this one a teeny tiny brownie point. He can spell queue correctly, even if he can't make it plural and use it in a sentence correctly.
