Go-to insults: You’ve probably got a few that you carry in your pocket. Ones that are ready at a moment’s notice whenever the occasion begs. Ones that have at least a smattering of style and rise a half step above simply shouting an obscenity in a deserving soul’s face. What are your favorites and for what occasions?
Interrupters:

You know, [insert target’s name here], between you and me, we know everything there is to know in the world. You know everything except for the fact that you are an insufferable jerk, and I know THAT!
In an effort to minimize the amount of obscenities I have been known to spew, I choose to call and offensive individual a cheese log. There’s no real logic or history to the term - I just used it once and liked the way it sounded and felt. It works for me.
Had a coworker (G) use this on another coworker (J) several years ago. (J) always interjected about virtually any subject being discussed and always had a better answer, better equipment, better everything…

(J) “Hey, I have this great kayak! It’s much better than the one you’re using… Blah blah blah…”

(J) “What’s that?”
(G) “A Fucking Knowitall”
