Usually “dumbass” for me. Edit: Apparently I can’t type 4 words without a typo. ---

Maude. Used when someone is poking along. Also used for anyone driving a Camry. There was a Toyota Camry commercial from maybe twenty years ago, with four old grey-haired ladies in a Camry, at the beginning of a freeway ramp. One passenger says “Punch it Maude!”, and another says “Yeah, punch it!” I’m sure the intent was that a Camry has enough power to accelerate onto a freeway, but to me it just said old ladies drive Camrys. Punch it Maude. ---

> [@Misnomer](#): > > A sarcastic “sweetheart.” As in, “Come on, sweetheart, move your ass!” or “Pick a lane, sweetheart!” Sometimes I go with “dumbass,” but usually it’s “sweetheart.” I’m a fan of “sweetheart” as well. Works as insult and condescension for men, women, and the elderly alike. Lately I’ve been using “numbnuts” a lot, for some reason. ---

You stupid asshole. Nice use of directionals, asshole. It doesn’t get any greener, asshole. But ya know? I almost never use that word, otherwise. ---

Motherfucker Chief Grandad (In order of most used) I’m a cyclist, and sometimes when I say things out loud someone can hear, so I tend to mutter under my breath. Got cut up by a taxi the other day and the driver looked like Michael Caine, so I said some swear words and called him Alfie. ---

When I’m mildly irritated or there are children in the car: jackwagon or titwhistle. When I’m really angry or alone: Any swear word or combination thereof is not only possible, but likely. 😉 ---

Jackass and/or asshole. If I really want to with the other driver ill, “Fuck you sideways with a rusty pineapple.” I may have picked that up on the 'Dope, over in the Pit.
