The next person who says “asshat” will force me to wear an ass shoe.

It’s old. It’s stale. It has taken the lead over “goat felch”. It has lost any and all effect (if it ever had any). Please shut the fuck up if you don’t have that third brain cell that allows creativity to cuss without stealing the title of every other Pit thread.

And JFTR, hardy har har to the smart ass who will follow this post with an “asshat”.

I am now off for another hard lemonade.

Thank you. I now feel much better.

Heartily seconded. The heart of a good insult is creativity. If you can’t invent your own terms, stick with one of the old reliables, like “motherfucker,” or “moderator.”

That’s a heck of a sneeze you got there. What is it, one of those European Beer Flus?

Personally, I’m partial to " **assbag**. Phonetically and metaphorically sound.
