Sort of a coin toss whether this should go in the Pit, since there is the potential for swearing. I think if we all promise not to aim the insults at someone we’ll toe the line, but if Greater Minds feel this belongs elsewhere I apologize and bow to their wisdom.
Several things brought this thought on, but it occured to me the people on these boards are masters at the unique insult. I’m always in the market for a better way to tell someone off, so I’m sending this out. What’s you’re favorite/most unique/funniest insult. Could be from you, another board member, a novel, Shakespeare, whatever floats your boat. I suppose we could vote on a winner, but I shudder to think what the trophy would be.
Shodans rant in the coldfire thread currently going on in the pit takes some beating. Not so much an insult as a four paragraph dissertation. My favorite line in it was;
“Milk cartons should carry pictures of your grip on reality”.
There’s nothing quite like a well-placed ethnic joke in good fun with close friends. I’m Jewish, and a lot of my friends are black, Mexican or Asian (not to mention most of my teammates on the basketball team), so we generally insult each other with the standard thievery/money-hoarding/fried-chicken/watermelons/rice/illegal-immigration fare. I would never do any of this with someone if I’m not absolutely positive that they’re comfortable with it.
Another one of my favorite insults is to imitate a snorting motion and rub my nose immediately afterwards, essentially accusing someone who says something stupid of riding the white horse. Another is the inhale/cough routine, essentially accusing someone of being stoned. This also works well when someone says that their mouth is really dry today, or for some reason they’re really hungry, or whatnot. Both of these are also in good fun, and I rarely use them on people who I’m not on friendly terms with.
If someone does some kind of wacky swerving maneuver or something on the road (outside of normal defensive-driving, avoid-running-over-that-thing sort of stuff), I’ll occasionally put my hand to my lips and tip my head back to imitate the motion of drinking from a beer bottle. Pretty obvious implications there.
your momma so stupid, she sit on the TV and watch the couch
any long winded descriptive rant beginning with ‘you stupid’ and ending with ‘motherfucker’ works for me, ie “you stupid theatre going what not to wear watching motherfucker”
Moderator’s Notes:
Folks, as amusing as all this creative cursing might be to some, let’s try to keep this thread free of that kinda stuff. We’ve very recently instated a rule in the Pit that says, "3) No pit threads specifically to expand one’s repertoire of insults, and we should be holding to an even higher standard here in MPSIMS. I think if we’re gonna do this at all, comments should be held to humourous remarks, such as, “May all your teeth fall out but one, and may that one rot so you have a toothache.”
