Are you offended by the term Ultra Orthodox?

[Yehuda57]

What would you like them to call you?

Depending on the context, a Chassid, a yrei shomayim, a lamdan.

And if they're English-speakers?  Google Translate would make those Follower, G-d fearing, Scholar

Added: For חָסִיד they also give Hassid, Righteous person, Adherent, Devotee, Devout Person, Pious Person

That's not half-bad for Google translate.

In all seriousness, it would depend on context. Sometimes Chassidic would work, visibly Jewish, Orthodox, observant, Amazon seller, super spreader, slumlord

Bonus points if you can find the letter to my great uncle where the Rebbe explains why it is in that order

I have absolutely no issue being called that, I actually think its a compliment.

Indeed. Tools and friends are far apart.

That's why I like the other abbreviations for GIYF v'dal

Rabbi Gifter would say “Orthodox is a greek word”, and the term Torah Jew should be used.

Anyone with any foresight knew that the term orthodox would be oh so easy to  hijack and redefine.
