So many insult words are problematic. But clearly there are plenty that are fine. Like piss-face. Please help me add to my dictionary of put down words, so I’m not going “um… you” next time I’m angry.

I looooveeee calling people dipshits. it’s serious enough to know that you mean business, but casual enough to not absolutely obliterate them.

It’s the closest thing to verbally smacking someone up the back of their head. Snappy, direct, and all-business

I have a coworker that breeds “show pigs”, and is married to a cop. I call him a pig fucker whenever he says something homophobic to me.

You can tell when Aussies are really insulting you because they’ll use something ordinary as an insult, like “you pelican”

I keep seeing this on reddit and it feels like the “cromulent fucktupple of a day” or whatever tweet.

All this “rare insult” shit just led to a bunch of witless redditors saying stupid shit and thinking they are clever with their “epic” clap backs.

I wonder how many of them think they can get around the civility rules by calling you a “fucking apricot” or something. Back when I had a reddit account, I mass reported libs for breaking civility as much as I could. Both to get them banned for breaking their precious civility that apparently only goes one way, and also to inundate the mods logs with endless bullshit.

If you’re angry and just want to let it out on someone, never underestimate the mileage one can get out of something simple like “you stupid fuck”. Sometimes insults doesn’t require a whole limerick complete with unfounded redditor smugness

As long as there’s enough contempt in your voice calling someone stupid fuck can be devestating
