I don't think Peter was intentionally disrespectful to either Aunt May or Uncle Ben. Any time he disappointed them, he felt bad and it showed on-screen. And as others have pointed out, he did have a ton of shit to deal with, so it's understandable if he cracks under the pressure from time to time.

Isn't the reason Spider-Man has been so popular for all these years because he's flawed? Because he makes mistakes, yet takes responsibility for them and tries to make things right?

Urban Dictionary: mouth breather

And that site is such a wonderful and totally objective source of accurate information.

No, all of the population are mouth-breathers. We all breathe through our mouths from time to time for various reasons. It's part of our biology and to use that as a derogative slur is frankly stupid, IMHO.

Sorry, I'm just sick of that being the go-to phrase to insult someone. It just does not make any sense to me.
