Insults

Yeah, kind of a broad topic name. Anyhow, this thread is so we can all post the greatest insults we have heard/said. I've said many good ones in my short time, but eh, I can't think of them all. This could very well become a nice ammo depot to take down those somewhat unlikeable people :mp5:

*true one, in fact we were insulting the hell out of each other*
Friend: *he said some insults*
Me: You know, you shouldn't be calling me all those mean things. You should be calling me dad.

*Another time*
Me: yeah well, they put your mom in prison to cure sex offenders!

Yeah but imagine using these in high school:

"[Thou art] a fusty nut with no kernel!"

"I took thee for thy better."

"Why dost thou converse with that trunk of humours, that bolting-hutch of beastliness, that swollen parcel of dropsies, that huge bombard of sack, that stuffed cloak-bag of guts, that roasted Manningtree ox with pudding in his belly, that reverend vice, that grey Iniquity, that father ruffian, that vanity in years?"

One of my favorites is one I can never use, because I'm not of the right sexual orientation. It was used by a gay man to insult some rednecks who were harassing him. His reply: "I'm more of a man than you'll ever be, and more of a woman than you'll ever get!" :D

But I usually go for more subtle insults anyway. Such as the time I taped a picture of Elmer Fudd to my boss' office door. (He never figured out who did it, either.)

:p

My favorite Shakespearean insult is from Macbeth:
"The devil damn thee black, thou cream-faced loon!
Where got'st thou that goose look?"

The idea amused me the other day, but it really is too elaborate to be done in normal existance, a little too premeditated...

The idea is that someone does something spectacularly stupid, right in front of you. Says something just out there. You don't say anything, just reach into your pocket, pull out a first place ribbon and stick it on thier chest.

It does raise the question of why you're carrying around first place ribbons, and what kind of person you are waiting for the moment to use them, but before you think of all that it's kinda funny...

sorta...



I'm not here to amuse you....d-dammit

Well if you know what really goes on in my mind you'll say this wasn't so bad. It could be a good reference for those people just itching to get back at someone.

To a friend who came to my job and jokingly asked for my phone number: "I don't talk to strangers and they don't get any stranger than you."

Conversation with another friend:
Him: There is no excuse for me.
Me: Sure there is. The condom broke.

An insult to me:
Me (I have a tendency to crack jokes in the middle of sex, don't ask): You evah fuck a retahd?
Him: I think I have now. :(
