Here’s a quarter. Go call someone who cares. (Actually it’s 35 cents in my neck of the woods.)  
I tend to just call people things like “butthead” and “prick.”

I invented the term “putz boy” for a neighbor I once had. Feel free to use it.

But here are my favorites for those special occasions.

If I was talking to you, I’d be using fewer syllables.

Look you fast talking donker sucker, I’m not interested in anything that might come back out of your mouth.

Goodbye and fuck you very much.

I have a friend that was a little overweight and his favorite hat had this printed on it  
“I may be fat, but your ugly, and I can diet”

Don’t get mouthy, 'cause I’m about to get cocky.

The best part of you ran down your mother’s leg.

Those are two of the more polite ones. I can’t really repeat the rest in mixed company. They’re pretty foul.

Why don’t you run outside and play Hide-and-Go-Fuck-Yourself.

So, you thought you could out-clever us French folk with your silly, knees-bent, running about, advancing behaviour. I wave my private parts at your aunties, you cheesy lot of second-hand electric donkey bottom biters.

– Monty Python and the Holy Grail, used during a game of Risk when I successfully defended France

May bloody piles torment you  
May corns grow on your feet  
May crabs as big as turtles  
Crawl up your ass and eat  
And when you’re old and feeble  
And become a nervous wreck  
I hope your head falls through your ass  
And breaks your fucking neck.  
– Maclean & Maclean

“Are you normal?” (nobody ever answers no)  
“There’s a blue light special in the clue department.”  
“Does your entre family have double digit IQ’s, or is it just you?”  
“How’s the weather on your native planet?”  
“You must’ve gotten straight A’s in Asshole 101.”  
(borrowed from _Daria:_ “I’d talk to you…four hours into a kegger!”  
“You’re the perfect candidate for natural selection.” (although some maintain that one doesn’t make sense, I don’t care)

If I’m really angry, I combine profanities.  
You Fuckass.

Stupid cuntshit.

If I’m near gasket blowing anger, I put on my fight face. That usually ends the situation.
