For those of you who think it's no point in calling them these names if they don't get it, the idea is to do it in front of a whole group of people. They will know his vocab sucks and laugh out loud. And if any of them know what you're talking about, then the guy you're insulting is in deep shit

I've got a good insulting word substitute: "Gahenna" in place of hell or hades. Gahenna is from a Hebrew name for a junk pile-garbage and trash dump in ancient Israel just outside Jerusalem. Used by the ancient prophets as a visual description for bad people after their death-a place of great punishment and torment. Most people don't know this. Just say, "Go to Gahenna", and you will have other wondering what you are saying.

Yeah but if someone says "sorry I don't speak smarta**" simply say some thing along the lines of "oh sorry that's right you're just a dumba**"

FICE

Sometimes on a Sunday at Mass
My Gran a soft fice would pass
Often more, in fact quite a medley
Maybe silent, but Lord they were deadly!

The meanings are HILARIOUS: otherwise known as HYSTERICAL, LAUGHABLE, ENJOYABLE. I used Cacafuego and corpulent in a story I'm working on. Thank you so much, I needed a good insult.

I had tears streaming before I finished the second paragraph! This is awesome! Even better than the Shakespearean Insult Kit (email list - went around last year). Much fun!

Oh please. Try saying this to somebody. You know what they'll say back? First, they'll laugh. Then, "Sorry. I don't speak smartass."

I guess it is good to know as many words as possible, but most of these are probably unknown to most people.

Funny... In French, you'd call syphilis "la maladie anglaise" i.e the English disease, and homosexuality "le vice anglais".

Frenchify made me think of some great Russian slang for syphillis: parizhskii nasmark, or Parisian headcold.

When I was studying Russian a fellow student came running up to me before class. The epitome of a slacker, never prepared, he was looking for an excuse for not having his oral presentation ready. He asked me if I knew the word for cold. I told him it was parizhskii nasmark. He went in to the prof and told him that's what he had. The teacher laughed for a good ten minutes before telling the guy that if he had the clap, he ought to head over to the student clinic.

There is a lot to be said from the judicious use of pointed, and sometimes cryptic insults, which the English language happily accommodates for — you worthless shower of puerile, feculent blatherskites. I bid you good day!

Good premise, bad delivery. Really? We're still vilifying the French? And lamely at that? Such promise, but little follow through.

Under Corpulent:
"no one like a fatty". You must mean, "no one likes a fatty". That pesky plural again. Everything else looks legit.

I'm surprised that neither you, nor any of the other commentators, mentioned that Cacafuego is the name of the 34-gun Spanish xebec frigate (a kind of privateer, or privately owned fighting ship) that Lt. Jack Aubrey of HM Royal Navy captured in the 14 gun sloop of war HMS Sophie. This event, chronicled in fiction by Patrick O'Brian (1914 - 2000), appeared in _Master and Commander_, the first book of the series of 20 Aubrey-Maturin novels penned by O'Brian between 1970 and 1999.

You can find this book on Google books at http://snipurl.com/MasterAndCommander . It provides a wonderfully detailed view of both naval warfare and European public and private life in the year 1800.

O'Brian's account of the capture of the Cacafuego, and indeed, of much of Aubrey's career, is based on the real-life adventures of Lord Thomas Cochrane, whose 14-gun sloop of war HMS Speedy captured a the much larger xebec frigate El Gamo in 1801. Real-life parallels of Aubrey's feats continue through the novels, providing the reader with painless history lessons covering everything from the British capture of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean, to the defeat of HMS Java by USS Constitution off of Brazil, to the taking of USS Chesapeake by HMS Shannon in Nantasket Roads near Boston.

Aubrey's amourous adventures also receive attention. We won't soon forget Miss Amanda Smith, of Knocking House, Rutland, Nova Scotia, since "knocking house" is an English slang term for a bordello. Nor will we forget the lesson taught by Aubrey in the first novel: if you wish to advance quickly in the navy, keep your breeches buttoned, and do NOT shtup your commanding officer's wife!

Peter Weir's 2003 film, _Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World_, starring Russell Crowe as Aubrey, and Paul Bettany as Dr. Stephen Maturin, is not based directly on either of the books named in the movie's two-part title. Instead, this film borrows selections from many of the 20 Aubrey-Maturin books to create a brand new story. Despite its re-invention, I believe Weir's video is true to the spirit of O'Brien's work, and Crowe's portrayal of the hero of the novels is sound and sure.

So quick's the word, and sharp is the action! To your stations, men, and fight -- for God, King and Country! Hurrah!

"Rodomontade" is a noun, meaning a story of such extreme boastfulness that it is highly unlikely to be true. It comes from Rodomonte, king of the Moors, from the Orlando Furioso, who at one point singlehandedly swims a river, knocks down huge wooden church doors with his bare hands, and singlehandedly slaughters hundreds of Christian knights in a terrible rage before making his escape.

Perhaps the term "twerp" is useful.

A "twerp" is a person who inserts false teeth between the cheeks of their arse and bites the buttons off the upholstery of the back seats of taxi cabs.

When you realise how few taxi cabs have button upholstery, you can appreciate how many twerps there are out there.

One of the most useful words in the English language and appropriate for describing most politicians.

"We’re still not sure which is more insulting": thanks for the refreshing piece of mindless bigotry. It's mind blowing how hatred towards the French has become mainstream in US pop culture in just a few years (not that it was unheard of before, but no one would have said something like "French is bad hehehehe" without trying to explain at least a little). I'd be curious to know whether you actually met one French person once in your life and whether you can actually justify this level of unargumented scorn. Now sorry,got to go, I'm awaited for my monthly bath. With my white flag. I'm so tired of all this shit.
