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.

How could you omit “feculent” from this list?

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.

Some amusing terms.
Interesting that ‘FAIL’ is a tired catchphrase, but replacing the word ’shit’ with ‘poo’ isn’t.

We forget meritricous, meaning, hooker like. It sounds like it should mean that it brings merit to, but the root of the word is Latin, meritrix (spelling may be a tad out), which, logically, means prostitute.

“…cunt muscle…” - Ari Gold

Uxorious.

Best word I learned in 2 years of Latin. The professor kind of danced around it.

“It means, basically, that your wife makes all your decisions for you. But that doesn’t convey how insulting the word is in Latin. It’s really offensive. English doesn’t have an equivalent.”

I raised my hand. “You mean ‘pussy whipped’. Yes, I’m pretty sure every language has a word for that.”

Way to repost the highlights from “Depraved and Insulting English” guys. I bought this book eight years ago and apparently don’t have anything new to learn. I applaud your efforts to increase the vernacular of everyday Joes, but would’ve thought that I could have found something new.

Hey Rik, add a ‘narco’ on the front of that. Then you randomly fall asleep while doing the ugly deed… Then maybe ‘bestial’ so its sex with dead young animals… We could go on and on… Narconecrobestialpedaphilliac.

You missed out on the best insult I’ve ever dished out.

Necropedaphilliac - someone who has sex with dead children.

Thats the sickest thing I’ve ever heard but also the best insult I’ve ever heard. I made it up about 19 years ago.

@Johannes Vindenburg: “You can’t be insulted by a word you don’t understand.”

Oh, no sir, I believe you’re mistaken. That’s the beauty of using these types of words to insult: the persons you just insulted may not know the exact meaning of the word, but they have a feeling that they’ve just been insulted.

Most of them don’t ask what the word means, because nobody likes feeling like a witling.

What about the one word insult of being called a “Clinton”? For an ignorant, imbecilic, inbred purveyor of false tales (especially about snipers and nuking Iran).

You can’t be insulted by a word you don’t understand.

Only if everyone knew these words could they be insults.

“Well, it’s hard to teach wit - but all of us can learn the next best thing: the approximation of it by obfuscation, i.e. using big, difficult, and obscure words.”

Maybe encourage people to read books to improve their vocabulary rather than add to the legion of dorks using words they’ve memorised but don’t properly understand? Just a thought.
