I once told a person…If I had to choose between them or a dog while stranded on a deserted island. The dog wins. ---

I once told someone that I hoped he would be raped repeatedly and die a violent and painful death. That’s really out of character, but it’s worth noting that this was said to the guy who was about to be convicted of sexually assaulting both my sister and several other young girls in the area. It’s been a little over 20 years now, and I have no idea what happened to the guy in prison, or after he (presumably) was released. ---

I once called someone a meanie meanie jelly beanie. They thought it was funny, but to me, that’s about the worst thing you can be. ---

“Crass, over-bearing, and rude”. Fairly mild I suppose, but I was in High School at the time… and the subject of the insult was the school Principal. And that’s the story of how I got suspended on the last day of school… ---

I called my ex-husband a jackass a few times. Just last week I called the extremely inebriated “lady” sitting behind us at the hockey game a fucking drunk after she slopped her beer on my mom. She was too drunk to understand what I said, just looked at me with these dumb cow eyes. ---

> [@panache45](#): > > “You’re a miserable excuse for a human being.” > > “You might as well never have been born.” Mom? Is that you? A friend once asked me why something always happened to him (I can’t remember exactly what, maybe getting dumped by his girlfriends), and I told him he was a jerk. He was very upset and I felt bad about it, but he’d asked for honesty. We ended up having a good discussion about jerkish behavior and its effects. I’ve said meaner stuff to people, but I try to avoid name-calling. Might have something to do with having been four-eyed and tinsel-teethed as a child. ---

I can’t remember the last time I called anyone a name; er, within earshot at least. I’ve been sworn at a few times, however. Once someone called me an “insignificant bastard”. That stung a bit. ---

“You are one miserable, sick cunt - a total fucking waste of skin. I would be overjoyed to see a truck run over your sorry ass and then have a dog come piss on your body as you lie in the street.” My parting words to the ex-wife that I refer to as The Bitch From Hell. It might not be an exact quote, but it’s pretty durn close. ---

“Saddam Hussein” Said to the rude parking attendant at a rock concert who didn’t give me change when I paid to park then played dumb when I asked for my twelve bucks back. To be fair, the guy looked extremely similar to the notorious former ruler, complete with a beret. I gave him a facE full of gravel as I peeled away in dramatic fasion. ---

hmmmm… Probably not the worst, but most recent, “Goddamn, inbred, cock bitting, smelly cunted whore! I hope you live the rest of your miserable fucking life in pain and die alone.” Ex-GF wanted to fuck someone in my apt. while I was away. ---

“You’re a flighty immature whore that already abandoned two kids and would serve the third one well to do the same. Your child is starved for attention and you are too wrapped up in talking about your boyfriend’s cock to see past your idiotic, pot-hazed poor excuse for a brain. Don’t call me ever again - when you try to sound smart it’s really hard not to laugh.” Yeah, burned that bridge. ---

It might not be an exact quote, but it’s pretty durn close. I never cease to be amazed at how intensely people can despise someone they once loved enough to marry, and even more than that, how their opinion of that person’s value can be so completely reversed. > [@ShelliBean](#): > > “You’re a flighty immature whore that already abandoned two kids and would serve the third one well to do the same.

Sounds so much like someone I actually know that I’d almost think it actually refers to her. ---

Cannot remember the exact wording, but it went somewhere along the lines of, Worthless, son-of-whore, shit-sucking nigger bastard, no wonder your people get lynched, fucking nigger cock-sucker, etc. You deserve to spend the rest of your life as a prison bitch. The word nigger was used in several more variations because I knew it was the insult that would feel the most vile to the recipent. I was also kicking the guy in the groin and ribs as I was screaming this. ---

Nothing outrageous. The usual combinations of motherfucker, cunt-whore, puss-ass, to some construction going on next door I said out my window to a nice looking woman who was working, “you’re too fat to fuck,” the usual “go fuck your mother,” “I’m going to take a blowtorch to your trachea and fuck the slit,” “You’re going to get a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire up your ass and out your neck hole, you white nigger fat-ass pussy.” One I didn’t think of is if some tiny little model type is blocking the sidewalk, the classic is “move your fat ass.” Generic insults are best unless you think you can get away with getting them closer to home. Of course, no insults unless they are pussy lawyers assaulting me with their vehicles or I think I can get away without a fight or am drunk. ---

There was a pit thread a few years back from some man who was divorcing his wife… the OP was one of the foulest things I had the pleasure to read. Me, probably a number of things, but the one that popped in my head wasn’t exactly a “bad name” but wasn’t exactly pleasant, and was said to my stepmother (who has no problem giving back as good as got, and then some): “Know what the difference between you and I? People will _cry_ at my funeral!” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-the-worst-thing-youve-called-someone-to-their-face/600870.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-the-worst-thing-youve-called-someone-to-their-face/600870.md?page=3)
