I think **fuckwit** is great. Other faves are **butt-munch** and **ass-bite**.

My all-time favorite (for now) has got to be **ass-clown**. The only problem I have with that one is, I find it SO funny that any time I want to use it I end up busting out laughing. (But since that usually cures me of whatever I was mad about, maybe that still makes it a good one.)  
And come on, guys, I **can’t believe** nobody has mentioned the unmentionable, that most appropriate of inappropriate curses,

I shudder even to offer it,

– wait for it!! –

_ **BARBRA STREISAND!!!** _

> My friend and I also established our own lignuistic rules for expletives. For example, we consider it a no-no to say “That is a big ass fucking bruise” because it implies ass fucking, while individually “big ass” can mean really big and “fucking” can mean “very/really/extremely” but the two combined together don’t work. \*\*

Actually…

1. [big ass] + [fucking] + [bruise] = BIG ass FUCKing BRUISE

has a completely different stress pattern (and interpretation) than

1. [big] + [ass fucking] + [bruise] = BIG ASS fucking BRUISE

With the first case, you get a primary stress on big and a secondary stress on ass (English generally assigns a primary stress on the first element of a compound noun/phrase i.e. White House [primary + secondary] vs. white house [primary + primary]) and primary stresses on fucking and bruise.

With the second case, you get a primary stress on big, a primary stress on ass, a secondary stress on fucking (the second element of the phrase ‘ass fucking’), and a primary on bruise

Only case 2 implies any sort of backdoor lovin’.

As for myself, I prefer a hearty **God Damn** but have been known to dabble with **Christ on a pony** and **ass-munching cum-dribbler**.

I am partial to “fish-faced enemy of the people”. (Zero Mostel in _The Producers_).

i love assclown too!. i have seen a porno called ‘Ass Clowns’!. it has girls dressed up with red clown noses and face paint while getting jizzed on. the makers proclaimed that ‘it’s some funny shit to jerk off to’. personally, i think annexing ‘clown’ onto simple expletives is going to be the future of clever curse words.

for example, how about DOUCHE-CLOWN? or u might wish to refer to a ditzy little slut as a Cum-clown.

These might not count, because they tend to be phrases rather than single-word insults, but I like to be specific. I’ve actually said these to people at one time or another:

- Itdon’tmatterjustdon’tbiteit, motherfucker!!!

- I bet you’re sitting on a chair in an empty room, with nothing but your social security check, a bottle of cheap vodka, and a telephone, determined to piss all over the world because nobody’s looked at your gnarled cunt in forty years.

- Do us all a favor and quit eating the paint chips, pigfucker.

For contractions, though, you just can’t go wrong with “jiveass motherfucker.”

Chinstrap

Cuntsack

I don’t know what either of them mean.

I once called someone a **cockbroker**. She didn’t take it very well, though. I mean, you’d think she could take a little joke from her grandson, but no…

My current favorite is …

**Cockhole**

It has the classic ambiance of “Asshole”, but it just goes that extra step. And it rolls trippingly off the tongue.

Syphalated Side Effect of a Southern Siberian Grudge-Fuck! Contributed by my friend Gary, circa 1978. A REALLY fancy way to call someone a bastard (I think).

Holy Sheep-shit! - Much used. I say Sheep-shavings in polite company.

Crap on Toast - Ewww…

And a little poem from my Dad. I have been known to fix an evil glare on someone and hit 'em with the whole thing, but it only works if they stand still for a few minutes.

When bleeding piles torment you,  
And corns upon your feet.  
When crabs as big as horsefleis  
Upon your meat do eat.  
And when you’re old and feeble  
And a syphiletic wreck  
I hope you fall through your asshole  
And break your bloody neck!

After recitation, run like hell!

Actually, my rule is not to be vulgar just for vulgarity’s sake. If a thread is too crude to be in the other forums, but it’s not really a rant, I just close it. Like I’m gonna do NOW.
