These glorious insults are from an era when cleverness with words was
still valued, before a great portion of the English language got boiled down to
4-letter words, not to mention waving middle fingers.



The exchange between Churchill & Lady Astor: She said, "If you were my
husband I'd give you poison," and he said, "If you were my wife, I'd drink
it."

A member of Parliament to Disraeli: "Sir, you will either die on the
gallows or of some unspeakable disease." "That depends, Sir," said
Disraeli, "on whether I embrace your policies or your mistress."

pleasure." Clarence Darrow

"He has never been known to use a word that might send a reader to the
dictionary." - William Faulkner (about Ernest Hemingway).

"Poor Faulkner. Does he really think big emotions come from big words?" -
Ernest Hemingway (about William Faulkner)

"Thank you for sending me a copy of your book; I'll waste no time reading
it." Moses Hadas

"He can compress the most words into the smallest idea of any man I know."
Abraham Lincoln

"I didn't attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying I approved of it."

Wilde

"I am enclosing two tickets to the first night of my new play; bring a
friend.... If you have one." - George Bernard Shaw to Winston Churchill

"Cannot possibly attend first night, will attend second... If there is
one." - Winston Churchill, in response.

"I feel so miserable without you; it's almost like having you here." -
Stephen Bishop

"He is a self-made man and worships his creator." - John Bright

"I've just learned about his illness. Let's hope it's nothing trivial." -
Irvin S. Cobb

"He is not only dull himself, he is the cause of dullness in others." -
Samuel Johnson

"He is simply a shiver looking for a spine to run up." - Paul Keating

"There's nothing wrong with you that reincarnation won't cure." - Jack E.

"Why do you sit there looking like an envelope without any address on it?"
- Mark Twain

"His mother should have thrown him away and kept the stork." - Mae West

than illumination." - Andrew Lang (18 44-1912)

Sully's collecting love (bling) like it's going out of fashion, I can't bling you again either.:msn-wink:


Anyway, that's all very nice, but I still prefer "Fuck you, get fucked and fuck off", less words and just as effective.:bleh:

No, no, no! If you use one of the above, the recipient will pause with a slightly confused look and while they are trying to work out if you were insulting them or complimenting them, you can smile and walk away with a superior air...:cool:

hehe, this is true! But it would take me 2 minutes to think of the right one for the situation and another 2 minutes to say it right, in that time they've probably walked off thinking they're superior because I stood there for 2 minutes with a gormless look on my face then mumbled and stumbled with saying something..... or I could say "fuck you, you mother flippin'" and walk away (or run, depending on the situation.):laugh:

The best kind of insult!

Like a time delay fuse set on a bomb planted by the slinky cat burglar who winks seductively at the security guard as she exits the building she's just robbed.

The look on the guards face says it all when the building falls down around him.

Mwah hahahahahaha!

I still think calling someone a Cunt, or a fucking cocksucker is more effective, as generally, the people who i give intelligent insults to, arent intelligent enough to get them, and therefore there is no satisfaction in the reaction, except that they are stoopid.

My insults tends to vary based on the intelligence of the person it is directed to...no point being too subtle if it is lost on a neanderthal, what's the fun in that blank look they get?

Edit: Oh my lord...I just read Morcs' post, and we are of similar opinions...I think this may be a sign of the end for me! :laugh: :crazy:

Too fucking right I also like:
Fuck right off!
Fuck me?!
For Fuck Sake!
Fuck me Days!
and other fun but tacky and organic offensive variations.

I'm also a fan of plain old BITCH! and if very very very very riled up or passionately PHUCKED ORF I have been known to use the C word.

Someone told me the other day that she tells her brother to "Foxtrot Oscar"...oooooo I told her though I was impressed at her knowledge of the phonetic alphabet I much preferred simple old Fuck Off.
