What’s the dumbest (or most un-original[been used too many times before]) insult that has been directed toward you? How about the most creative one? If you give me a few good posts, I’ll tell you what Amadaun means. [sub][sup]Any Irish dopers?[/sub][/sup] The dumbest and most un-original insult directed toward me was: > [@](#): > > **Gee, I never realized what an ignorant bitch you are!. . .oh wait, yes I did. I always knew that.** ---

The dumbest insult I’ve ever head, sadly, came from my own lips. When I was a kid, I think about 8 or 9, my elder brother called me a halfwit. Working on the logic if _half_ of something was bad _all_ of the same thing must be _twice as bad_… I accused him of being a _ **fullwit** _ :o Call me an amadaun do you? Pogue ma hone! milo ---

The stupidest insult? Well of course t’was me who did the deed. About two years ago…freshman year of high school methinks. My friend Sarah was teasing me about something or other and I was embaressed because a few of my other friends overheard. I guess I was really flustered about whatever it was, 'cause then I kind of sputtered, "Oh yeah???..well…erm…_ **BRACES!!!"** _ and wildly pointed a finger at Sarah’s brace-incrusted, smiling mouth. And hell, I still don’t know why I did it. Was funny tho. ---

Okay… **milo\_minderbinder** , are you Irish? Do you know what Amadaun means? I’ll go ahead and tell everyone else Amadaun means… Wait for it… Wait for it… The Fool!!! Amadaun!Amadaun! No, really, I think most(emphasis on the word most) of you fellow dopers are intelligent, funny, all around good people.

A friend of mine called her sister a spineless cnidarian once. She was horribly offended when we both burst into laughter. This same friend and I once went through our textbooks, hunting for insults no one would dream of using but us. Found some really great ones. jessica ---

My friend has the last name Boger and I called him “Booger” one time. It had just occurred to me, even though I’d known him for two years at that point. The sad thing? I was 28 years old. He was so flabbergasted to hear that insult for the 1,000,000 time (but for the first time in about 15 years), he didn’t know what to say to me. I still cringe. I mean, come on. Booger. ---

I once told someone to, “Run up an alley and holler fish!” Actually, I stole that line from a sitcom, but I really did tell someone to do it. ---

Actually, this one was fairly original, but still pretty dumb: I was in junior high, not the best time of life to be a harmless eccentric. The students in my homeroom – most of whom were the sort of kids who delighted in making my life hell – were supposed to take turns bringing snacks on Fridays. One morning, as my turn approached, I overheard one girl whisper to another in a tone obviously meant to be insulting: “I hear Fretful is bringing _goulash_!” What’s so bad about goulash? 😕 ---

I don’t know if this counts, but I will tell it anyway. When I was in high school and still had to ride the school bus, there was this really annoying boy who used to love to insult my sisters and me. One day we were getting on the bus. Imagine a school bus with those narrow little aisles. With the narrow little aisles, we had to walk in a row. This kid says to us, “Oh, look at the little ducklings, all in a row.” I responded, “Oh, you are just SO whitty.” For the rest of the ride to school the boy was saying in a mocking voice, “Oh your soooo whitty…oh your soooo whitty…” At the end of the ride he comes up to me and asks in this really condisending tone, “What does whitty mean anyway?” :o ---

One insult that has stuck with me for years is “jerkoff” as in “You’re such a jerkoff!” I’ve never understood it. You can jerkoff, but how can you be one? A friend of mine in high school was always good for insults, they were always quite original…and always slighty nonsensical. My favorite “You pus spewing penis incision!” huh? ---

The lamest insult ever hurled at me was from this real goober of a guy I know. My name come up in conversation and he turned around and said, “Oh? The _Psycho_?” It’s lame because he seriously thought that my friends and I would take offense at it… It’s like thinking someone will really be hurt by being called . Funniest insult I ever got was being called a “charcaol-faced art weirdo.” They thought reeeeaaaaal long and hard about that one, and all I did was walk over to a sink, wash my face, and say, “Now I’m a clean-faced art weirdo.” It’s just so hard to make fun of someone who can poke fun at themselves. 🙂 ---
