Yeah, it's like, I don't know whether we should care that it's a sexual term that's been bowdlerized into all-ages use, or that it's a homophobic term that's been normalized, or neither because what do I want to look like, one of those Victorian ladies putting dresses on piano legs

Andos El Pantos posted:Does "Jabroni" have any problems associated with it? It's such a middle of the road insult that people usually don't see it coming and it tends to punch above it's weight. A jabroni is a pro wrestler whose whole career is just taking falls to boost up more popular wrestlers They're working class heroes

ultrafilter posted:I loaded up the Shakespearean insult generator and it called me a "ruttish base-court clotpole". That sounds pretty harsh and I don't think it's problematic, largely because I don't know what those words mean. Someone brought this up on these forums at some point, and I do love 'dipstick' as an insult just because it's so strangely tame. There's this fun confusion factor when an adult cracks out an insult reserved for six year olds. It's something that only has that power in person, though. In text or over audio you run the risk of coming off like an actual child, which is no fun.

Creative, quirky insults that are meant to avoid ableism/misogyny/homophobia/etc always come out sounding dumb irl. edit: If you're an old British person, you can pull it off.

I find “turd burglar” amusing, combined with the explanation that it means someone who breaks into places in order to steal turds. Or perhaps an anthropomorphic turd who commits property crimes. A shame that its origin is homophobic, because it’s fun to say.

I don't know where me and my friends in high school got it from, but turd burglar was definitely an insult we tossed around. I always thought it was hilarious because I also imagined someone sneaking around stealing peoples poop. Here's one you can use instead of cocksucker: Cock knocker. I think that might have come from a Kevin Smith movie but it's pretty good, has those nice hard K sounds.

I thought that "turd burglar" is also a homophobic one. Due to, you know, where the burglar burglars the turds from.
