And they were just barely on the edge of funny in the first place. Shitfarm. Vaginalibrary. e: that was supposed to say bad word-noun. Or insult-noun. But not noun-insult. That’s wrong. Whoops. ---

Thanks for your opinion, crotchwaffle.\* \*Note: I do not actually think **neutron star** is a crotchwaffle. Also, I will be using vaginalibrary in conversation as soon as possible. ---

In another thread I called Rumsfeld a “Sopping wet clownshoe made of vagina leather.” I think we’re at the point as a people where Insult - Noun - Verb - Noun - Noun combos are the minimum necessary. ---

If William Safire covered this subject in his “On Language” column in the NYT Magazine, I’ll bet he’d find that an early popular version of this combo was “scumbucket”, which dates from about 1980, I think. ---

What about insult-noun offensive-noun combos? Because I’m really, really fond of using “fucktard douchebag.” Douchebag alone simply doesn’t have the right oomph. ETA: …and since when the hell is **vagina** an insult? Geez. Whoever’s using that one is a total pussy. ---

What kind of fuckface shithead asshole doesn’t like profanity-noun insults? It’s part of our language. Okay, I admit that some of them go overboard into Pretty Silly territory. That’s why I believe we need to standardize all of the authorized profanity-noun combinations, limiting ourselves to the following list: **Profanity:** Ass, bastard, butt, cunt, dick, fart, fuck, hell, shit, turd, twat. **Nouns:** Bread, cat cheese, chicken, cube, head, monkey, waffle. For reference I have created a handy chart: ```auto bread cat cheese chicken cube head monkey waffle ass assbread asscat asscheese asschicken asscube asshead assmonkey asswaffle bastard bastardbread bastardcat bastardcheese bastardchicken bastardcube bastardhead bastardmonkey bastardwaffle butt buttbread buttcat buttcheese buttchicken buttcube butthead buttmonkey buttwaffle cunt cuntbread cuntcat cuntcheese cuntchicken cuntcube cunthead cuntmonkey cuntwaffle dick dickbread dickcat dickcheese dickchicken dickcube dickhead dickmonkey dickwaffle fart fartbread fartcat fartcheese fartchicken fartcube farthead fartmonkey fartwaffle fuck fuckbread fuckcat fuckcheese fuckchicken fuckcube fuckhead fuckmonkey fuckwaffle hell hellbread hellcat hellcheese hellchicken hellcube hellhead hellmonkey hellwaffle shit shitbread shitcat shitcheese shitchicken shitcube shithead shitmonkey shitwaffle turd turdbread turdcat turdcheese turdchicken turdcube turdhead turdmonkey turdwaffle twat twatbread twatcat twatcheese twatchicken twatcube twathead twatmonkey twatwaffle ``` [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/insult-noun-combos-arent-funny-anymore/482745.md?page=2)
