I always like insults like “you smattering of congealing rectal drippings,” or “you excretion of candy-appled stupid”, or "exhalation - " or "squirting - " etc. etc. ---

Lobsang: Yeah, except I’m specifically asking for the type of thing that would get you booted outta IMHO. “cheesehead” doesn’t amuse me nearly as much as “fuckbreath” (good one!) ---

You cankerous fettered old Sou! Not good in words, but bloody classic when said by John Cleese in Fawlty Towers, during a scene where he really loses his temper with his wife. (spelling is guesswork on my part) ---

I think sou is the correct spelling. It’s the others I am not sure about. And a quick search confirms that Sou is a real word. although not meaning what I thought it meant. It means ‘old french coin of little value’. I thought it meant some kind of pig. ---

"Sow - An adult female hog. The adult female of several other animals, such as the bear. " I sit corrected. (bastard) ---

I suspect “fettered” is really “fetid”, although Basil would probably have fettered Sybil if she’d given him half a chance. ---

spermstain “Go lick a diseased porcupine” Shitmonger And one of my husband’s frustrated curses “I’m going to stick a rabid homosexual wombat down your conductor’s pants,and shove a diseased groundhog down your smokestack…” (It’s a long story,he was just in a bad mood that day,and the train blocking our path was the last straw. He has used the curse on several occaisions since,modified of course.) ---

\You know, I think the Pit has warped my mind. The other day I was walking through the store, and out of the corner of my eye I saw a bag in the freezer case, bright red, with large, festive letters reading “Chicken FUCK NUGGETS.” I was halfway down the aisle before my feet caught up with my brain and turned me around–it actually said “Fun Nuggets.” So then I thought to myself, what’s next, Nabisco Tugs Ahoy? Now I’m afraid to go down the cookie aisle.\ ---

Anything with “monkey” in it tickles my funny bone. Assmonkey is my favourite word these days. ---

I’m rather proud of coming up with: “Did this idea flash even once through your last lonely soon-to-be-excreted neuron?” Or something like that. Somedays you are just oh-so inspired. ---

I loved this one - “But Sparticus demonstrated that he is a one-dimensional parrot of his zeitgeist. He has no mind. He only has a knee.” - from **Libertarian**.
