"in a wild or unsupervised state" seems like a particularly apt description of children. it does not seem to be derogatory: language really should be evocative as often as literal.
- foldr 6mo agoThat seems like a slightly off definition to me: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/feral https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/feral And feral certainly is a term with negative connotations in English. Are you in a "wild and unsupervised" state when you leave your house and go to work?
