Ex-Sheriff Flair can always be relied upon for the chowderhead take. The man is an arrogant doofus extraordinaire. He could be on the Olympic buffoon squad.

Also, got to love an ex-cop who’s gone full sovcit.

Wasn't that chowderhead trying to BE government? Sure a whole lot of anti-government people spending their entire careers being the evil government for the perks and pay.

I almost never use that word as an insult, to be honest. It's really just a descriptive and occasionally a term of endearment.

Oxygen thief and fuckwit are my insults of choice, depending on the company I'm in at the time.

I've always been a fan of reprobate, myself. It's a classic insult targeting a person's character, without having the baggage of targeting any marginalized group of people, it's not a swear, it's not a cutesy reference to a swear word, and it's not implying you think the other person ought to die.

It's the one entirely unproblematic insult!

7. DEW-BEATER

An 18th century word for an especially large shoe, and consequently a clumsy or awkward person.


14. GILLIE-WET-FOOT

An old Scots word for a swindling businessman, or someone who gets into debt and then flees.

"Clown" is a good insult because clowns don't mind being laughed at so they won't object

Also this seems like a very reasonable and calm response:

I enjoy using shapes as insults. I don't know what I'm saying when I call someone "a loving rhombus", or tell them "get hosed you trapezoid", or even go the classic "You're a goddamn pentagon somedays" but it feels right.

I love the earthy contempt conveyed by 'ya fuckin gobshite'.
Another good one for the 'I'm Karen and I want to speak to a manager'-types is 'a dose'. Especially bad ones are an 'absolute dose'.

Say it in the most polite way possible and add "rear end"

That is a huge rear end whale

That Karen was a polite rear end customer

She was a heroic rear end doctor

Hitler was a nazi rear end nazi

It works in all situations and moods. Please note that the emphasis on "rear end" is different from like, dumbass. Dumbass goon sounds different from dumb rear end goon.

Has anybody said Dingus Khan? That's a personal favorite. Adding "weapons grade" to a mundane insult is pretty good as well. E.g. Weapons grade moron, weapons grade rear end, weapons grade middle management.
