I’ve always admired the cleverness of what I’m told is an old Yiddish insult: “May you catch a disease and have it named after you”.

Anyone rmember an ancient sitcom starring Valerie Harper as “Rhoda”? It had some really sharp writing. F’rexample, there’s a guy who’s sweet on Rhoda but she can’t stand him. He turns up at her apartment:

Rhoda: Larry (sigh), why are you here?  
Larry: I thought I’d drop by and cheer you up!  
Rhoda: Larry, you cannot do BOTH.

This is still the best put down I’ve ever heard!

\*\* Specific Insult \*\*

In the film business, extras are sometimes referred to as “Props that eat”. I’ve always liked that one.

\*\* General Insult \*\*

“You’re the load your mother should’ve swallowed!”

I say “Cum sucking gutter whore.”  
Once while really pissed at someone, I yelled “Shit fuck fire!” Ever since then, it’s been my insult.

I was staying late to finish some drafting work _he’d_ promised someone on too short a notice.

He walks in, asks in a snide tone, “How are you doing, Picasso?”

I respond, before I have time to think twice, “Are you always this much of an asshole, or do you have to WORK at it?”

AND HE SAYS, “Oh, I work at it all the time!” and calmly walks back out…

But I never got anymore 5:30 PM work assignments worth another four hours of work, either… 🙂
