Those who would think it insulting wouldn't recognise the phrase in the
first place, and so wouldn't learn anything "derogatory" from your
summary.

I had to Clusty the phrase in order to work out what on earth you were
talking about.  But those who would think less of the maggid shiur for
knowing that source wouldn't be using the 'net either; and in any case
it wouldn't occur to them that he was quoting anything, so they'd have
no occasion to find out where it came from.  I only did so because your
question made it obvious that this was a quote from some "tamei" source.
