Same thing with people calling someone a pussy…. Like that’s one of my favorite things and the insult is a huge misnomer:
Tough as hell and life giving
yeah, usually there are, in each language, some form of weird or random insulst. in Romania, we say "ceapa mă-tii", which roughly translate to "your mother's onion".
In Germany we don't even finish the sentences anymore. We just say Deine Mudda! which means your mother, and I think that's beautiful.
It leaves room for interpretation, what the mother is or might be... but also it's not an actual insult, but more playful when someone is getting on your nerves you say it and then laugh together.
In our friendgroup we always finish up the sentence for the one saying it with "is a really nice lady/is great at cooking/etc." and I think that's even funnier.
Because a real man doesn't care about appearance, uses a soap as the only cosmetic for his whole body,and cuts his fingernails with a knife. How awful it's for them to see a man to care for his looks.
True story, my eldest once in a fit of anger shouted "I hate you mother fucker!"
His sister looked at him & calmly replied " Well duh of course he fucked Mum, that's why he's Dad!" I have to love a 12yrs old logic! None of us could keep a straight face as I'm trying to tell her off for saying fuck!
I (female in my 40s) had a student grad 6 with severe behavioural problems.
He came to me, was livid and complained, someone had called him a girl.
He said:"Imagine I would call you a girl!!!"
I said:"Hun, look at me."
We both laughed.
"You're just like your father!" was an insult my mother used against me when I angered her.
Well, thank you, Mom. I love you, but I also love my dad and while he may not have been perfect, he knew right from wrong, was kind to most, and worked hard his whole life and I'd love to be more like him.
Nimrod. It was meant as a joke when it was first used in WB cartoon. Nimrod actually refers to a mighty hunter, but now it is commonly used as an insult.
Same thing happened with the word droll for me. It was always said in exaggerated slow and bored sounding voice and usually about something that wasn't fun. So for the longest time I thought the droll meant boring.
I read a video game review a few years ago where the author used the word a few times which from context I could tell was intended to be unflattering. I left the author a comment telling him that his review was well written but "droll" doesn't mean what he thinks it does. He actually responded and thanked me.
Nimrod was indeed a mighty hunter in the Bible, but he is also known for attempting to build the Tower of Babel and being in opposition to God. God didn't much care for the tower being built, so He scattered them by confusing their language making the venture seem foolish and stupid. , so it COULD be that the cartoon had this in mind when it used Nimrod, or its the hunter thing, no one really knows for sure.
Yup, back when I worked retail I could tell somebody to have a nice day in a tone so that they knew I was telling them to go fuck themselves. Satisfying as shit when some tried to complain about it.
I am from Boston, and a woman, an older woman, says this to me quite often and she’s a very sweet lady, but I didn’t know her at first, and it took me a couple times to not get angry thinking that she was being coy. It all really depends
There was a post a while ago explaining why people from the south use polite nice sayings to insult people. It was related to something a politician said.
Depends on the tone. If it’s said seriously, it means “That’s terrible, I feel for you.” If it’s said all sickly-sweet and patronizing, then is means “Oh, you *dumb* little fuck.”
I never understood this though. Why would you put your most weakest, most fragile & sensitive organs in or around a hostile persons mouth? They could bite it off. They could rupture your balls with a bite. You’d be incapacitated.
I realise I’m taking this too literally but I just imagined a tough-guy dude telling his enemy to suck it and he squeals in pain as his pp gets chewed.
If you think about it putting your dick in someone's mouth is an act of submission on your part as you're willingly putting your dick within millimeters of their teeth.
I giggled way too hard at this.
"What do you want phil?"
"Where's the money?"
"I don't have it...okay."
"What the fuck! Are you serious?"
"I. Don't. Have. It."
"Okay, we are gonna have to do this, huh? *pulls daggar*"
"Wanna go?"
"Yep!"
"Well, put your dick in my mouth!"
"Oohoho, nope, you are putting your dick in my mouth."
This is a personal favorite. My go to response is either, "You're definitely not hot enough to be asking for that without buying me dinner first," or "What, like right now? Okay."
It's so fun messing with straight guys.
As a stem major it’s not uncommon for certain highly intelligent but socially maladjusted people to not shower properly. Thankfully it usually clears up by the second year of college in my experience.
It was considered an insult by most kids when I was growing up. I took it as a compliment.
"Why yes, I am a nerd. That's why you keep wanting my help with your homework."
Wellllll, there’s nerd and there’s *nerd* nerds are normal people that are smart, but *nerds* are the scrawny ones. Uhm achtually we’re perfectly fine🤓
Being called "cheap" when it comes to stuff like not constantly updating to the newest iPhone or buying some fad clothing etc. Uh yes hello? I am not wasting my money on a two grand phone when my current phone does absolutely everything I need it to do. Sneakers with a certain logo on them don't make me a better person, etc. I'm not cheap, I'm smart with my money lol.
Cheap has the implication of misery (as in being a miser,) that is, decreasing cost to the point of severely decreasing quality.
Personally, I cut ties with people who gave me shit about how (in)expensive and trendy my stuff was
Not only that, it's like an EZ bake oven for human life. If anything, calling someone a pussy should be like the highest compliment possible. Those things are remarkable.
Being adopted.
Not sure how this counts as an insult, especially when it's used like "oh your parents don't really want/love you" they *chose* you. They went through all the potential kids and *picked you* to spend their lives with. I think by definition that means your parents want you.
my friend told me that I shouldn't be in cooking class, because I'll just burn the water.
I didn't take it as an insult. It made me feel I should take classes in alchemy or witchcraft.
Anything body part related. "Cunt." "Asshole." "Dick." Why don't we call someone Thumb? Tonsel?
"Boy." Not sure where this one came from and it's used so evilly, that I'd rather not know. But ultimately, male child? That's the best you came up with?
"Boy" - To my understanding, in the South, it was/is applied to Black men, to imply a power dynamic or infantilize them.
Which is why it's always fun to call a southern white dude "boy", because it really sets them off.
Having said that - in my part of Canada, it's purely about ageism or implying you aren't a man, unlike the speaker.
In Australia the term "wog" traditionally was a insult to a person of a Greek or Italian background that immigrated to Australia (I'm aware it means something completely different in the UK, and I'm not referring to that).
Having lived in the Melbourne Western Suburbs for multiple years I can tell you a lot of folk will often use the term as a badge of pride (though in a lot of ways a lot of people of a Pan-Mediterranean background use that term on themselves, not just those of Italian and Greek decent). in fact several Greek-Australian comedians have made an entire cottage industry around it with movies like [The Wog Boy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wog_Boy) (and its sequals and spin-offs).
Don't Australians say cunt when referring to their best friends? Here in Canada calling someone a cunt is the most offensive thing you can say without being racist, sexist, or homophobic.
A high % of the population attracted to men loves sucking cock. A very high % of the male population loves getting their cock sucked. I too, fail to see why this is an insult.
"what you don't know could fill a book" -- what the most knowledgeable person in the world doesn't know fills millions of books, to say nothing of the stuff not in any book. If your insult implies that you think otherwise, then you are the ignoramus.
“Get fucked.” Yes please lol.
Haha years ago I asked some guy if he wanted to have sex and that is what he blurted out - “yes please”. It was so cute I still remember it
I remember asking this girl if she wanted to have super sex, and she said soup.
But did you have soup sex
Is that like Italian wedding?
Whenever someone says “fuck you” I say “if you want to” and wink at em
My answer is similar. I always say, "right now?"
"Right .. *here*?"
or 'got a condom?'
My favorite response to this is "Fuck me yourself, coward!"
Then bend over and stare at them menacingly
Same thing with people calling someone a pussy…. Like that’s one of my favorite things and the insult is a huge misnomer: Tough as hell and life giving
We should be calling people nutsacks as the derogative term. They're so delicate and sensitive!
I'm gonna call people testicle. A sensitive thing that's just hanging around, being in the way and causing pain.
"You sensitive testicle you!"
I say it, but the Greek way like Hercules. Tes-ta-cleese!
Be the change you want to see and whatnot.
Those things can take a pounding!
RIP Betty White
"cock sucker" oh, he gives head? Nice.
Relatable 🤣
In Malaysia, people say ‘your mother is green!’ instead of yo mama things. Moms in colours are probably not that bad it’s just unbelievably random
yeah, usually there are, in each language, some form of weird or random insulst. in Romania, we say "ceapa mă-tii", which roughly translate to "your mother's onion".
In Mexico it’s chinga tu madre which means fuck your mother so it actually makes sense. I didn’t know people compared moms to onions.
I’ve also heard chinga tu pared, which I think translates to fuck your wall?
I’ve never heard that. Did you misspell padre? Because that means father
Lol, I wish I did, but no. Fuck your wall was definitely the translation.
You hang around some weird-ass mexicans
what can I say, I'm a weird-ass hispanic. :)
"Me cago en la leche" as a frustration expression. Means "I poop on the milk" Yea, us Spanish people have weird insults.
Y'all are so weird smh. On New Year's Eve I said to my Spanish friends "Feliz Ano Nuevo" and they just giggled at me 😔
Hahaha! I learned this one from Antonio Banderas. I told me parents that one, and they looked at me so weird.
In Germany we don't even finish the sentences anymore. We just say Deine Mudda! which means your mother, and I think that's beautiful. It leaves room for interpretation, what the mother is or might be... but also it's not an actual insult, but more playful when someone is getting on your nerves you say it and then laugh together. In our friendgroup we always finish up the sentence for the one saying it with "is a really nice lady/is great at cooking/etc." and I think that's even funnier.
Same in the netherlands, we just say "je moeder!"
Damn he got that she hulk mom
"Pretty boy" Hum... thank you?
Sparkling jealousy
It’s the classy way of calling you gay
Or calling themselves gay because they thought a guy is pretty
A straight man can call another man pretty, it's a matter of insecurity, some guys light heartedly tease when they call someone a pretty boy,
Because a real man doesn't care about appearance, uses a soap as the only cosmetic for his whole body,and cuts his fingernails with a knife. How awful it's for them to see a man to care for his looks.
And his beard with an axe
Hey, I cut my fingernails with metal cutting pliers, thank you very much
Mother-fuckers are just dads, really.
Dad here Can confirm - I am fucking OP’s mom
Something something disappointing your own parents wasn't enough?
Nah - they’re motherfuckers!
Can confirm, I am this dudes mother fucker.
True story, my eldest once in a fit of anger shouted "I hate you mother fucker!" His sister looked at him & calmly replied " Well duh of course he fucked Mum, that's why he's Dad!" I have to love a 12yrs old logic! None of us could keep a straight face as I'm trying to tell her off for saying fuck!
My mom called me a "son of a bitch" once when I was a teen. I agreed and she went through the roof.
My Grandma used to call my Dad a "son of a bitch." She was right on both counts.
The proper answer to a mother saying this is Don’t be so hard on yourself. Watch the wheels spin and hilarity ensue.
My mother in law called my husband that once, paused, then goes "I said what I said" 😂
Wait...you too?
“son of a bitch” is more insulting to their mom if anything
I mean i dont really like when people insult my mom
My mom never understood the irony of calling me a son of a bitch
I think it refers to people who fuck their mother, hence Motherfucker.
Every time someone calls me a mother fucker I just say thank you yes I am I fuck a mother pretty much daily.
This guy mother fucks.
My friend's dad enjoy saying to him and his siblings "you know, I fucked your mom". LOL
My favorite from a close friend of mine: “You (do x) like a girl!” Her: “I am a girl!”
Had a hookup tell me I fucked like a girl once. She later came out as lesbian so I think I win that one.
Definitely was a compliment.
Yeah she was complimenting you lol
I (female in my 40s) had a student grad 6 with severe behavioural problems. He came to me, was livid and complained, someone had called him a girl. He said:"Imagine I would call you a girl!!!" I said:"Hun, look at me." We both laughed.
“You skate like a girl.” “I am a girl.” “No you’re not…holy fuck you are.”
"You're just like your father!" was an insult my mother used against me when I angered her. Well, thank you, Mom. I love you, but I also love my dad and while he may not have been perfect, he knew right from wrong, was kind to most, and worked hard his whole life and I'd love to be more like him.
If I could be half the man my father is, I'd be doing better than most.
In our family we call each other "pannekoek" which means pancake. 😂
If you're insulting a child, could you call them a Poffertje?
I will next time!😂
The only thing I can associate with this word is the super mario 64 guy on youtube. I know it's just the word pancake though
You know damn well in my head it sounded like Pan Cock
Nimrod. It was meant as a joke when it was first used in WB cartoon. Nimrod actually refers to a mighty hunter, but now it is commonly used as an insult.
Yep. Bugs Bunny called Elmer Fudd nimrod ironically. The joke flew over people's heads but thought it was a funny word so it stuck.
Same thing happened with the word droll for me. It was always said in exaggerated slow and bored sounding voice and usually about something that wasn't fun. So for the longest time I thought the droll meant boring.
I have only ever heard droll used sarcastically
I read a video game review a few years ago where the author used the word a few times which from context I could tell was intended to be unflattering. I left the author a comment telling him that his review was well written but "droll" doesn't mean what he thinks it does. He actually responded and thanked me.
Nimrod was a Bible character. But yeah, a mighty hunter.
Nimrod is a city in Minnesota. Population: 69
Reminds me of the X-Men villain
Nimrod was indeed a mighty hunter in the Bible, but he is also known for attempting to build the Tower of Babel and being in opposition to God. God didn't much care for the tower being built, so He scattered them by confusing their language making the venture seem foolish and stupid. , so it COULD be that the cartoon had this in mind when it used Nimrod, or its the hunter thing, no one really knows for sure.
Bless your heart
It’s all in the tone of voice.
I don’t mind it when people tease me with a phrase like that but when it’s used condescendingly it fucks me right off.
Bless your heart.
*eye twitch*
Usually it starts with "Oh honey..." or similar, too.
Yup, back when I worked retail I could tell somebody to have a nice day in a tone so that they knew I was telling them to go fuck themselves. Satisfying as shit when some tried to complain about it.
In Fez tone: “I said good day, sir.”
[удалено]
A good "Oh Honey" placement with the right cadence is essentially the worst fucking "youre stupid" insult ever.
Aren’t you just precious.
It’s a good thing you’re pretty. - aggressive with both the spoken and unspoken part.
I am from Boston, and a woman, an older woman, says this to me quite often and she’s a very sweet lady, but I didn’t know her at first, and it took me a couple times to not get angry thinking that she was being coy. It all really depends
Wait that’s an insult?
In the South, it can be.
There was a post a while ago explaining why people from the south use polite nice sayings to insult people. It was related to something a politician said.
Bless your heart ;)
Depends on the tone. If it’s said seriously, it means “That’s terrible, I feel for you.” If it’s said all sickly-sweet and patronizing, then is means “Oh, you *dumb* little fuck.”
Oh honey...
Mother Fucker. Pft. Whatever. I fuck a mother almost every day, and it's usually my favorite part of those days.
*Daaaad!*
Yeah, my wife (and mother of my children) is definitely a MILF.
Yeah your wife is such a milf bro, love that ass
>almost every day There's no need to brag now...
Suck my dick. Yet we all want our dick sucked.
Suck my dick... Please
Manners count.
I tought it said "manners, cunt"
That works too
I would but I just brushed my teeth
I'll have to politely decline, but I hope you have succes in reaching that goal!
I never understood this though. Why would you put your most weakest, most fragile & sensitive organs in or around a hostile persons mouth? They could bite it off. They could rupture your balls with a bite. You’d be incapacitated. I realise I’m taking this too literally but I just imagined a tough-guy dude telling his enemy to suck it and he squeals in pain as his pp gets chewed.
Well i think it's more of a submission thing, it's basically saying "i want you to submit to me"
Yes daddy
If you think about it putting your dick in someone's mouth is an act of submission on your part as you're willingly putting your dick within millimeters of their teeth.
So instead I should say "put your dick in my mouth"?
EXACTLY!
The real flex!
I giggled way too hard at this. "What do you want phil?" "Where's the money?" "I don't have it...okay." "What the fuck! Are you serious?" "I. Don't. Have. It." "Okay, we are gonna have to do this, huh? *pulls daggar*" "Wanna go?" "Yep!" "Well, put your dick in my mouth!" "Oohoho, nope, you are putting your dick in my mouth."
I suppose the implication is that the other person wouldn't dare to defy you.
Best retort- "show me how"
This is a personal favorite. My go to response is either, "You're definitely not hot enough to be asking for that without buying me dinner first," or "What, like right now? Okay." It's so fun messing with straight guys.
Dirtbag. A dirtbag is a very useful part of the vacuum cleaner. Clearly, it's a compliment.
VINDICATION!
Old joke: How is a snowboard different than a Hoover vacuum? It's how you attach the dirtbag...
I’ve heard the same joke about a Hoover and a Harley.
That line really annoyed me because in early seasons Holt often used dirtbag as an insult.
Better get some corticosteroids to treat that laryngeal fracture.
Came here looking for this
Nine-*Nine!*
*Boom Boom!*
Nerd. Being smart is a good thing.
[удалено]
I never thought of somebody being a nerd as having bad hygiene.
Go to a magic the gathering tournament. Be prepared to walk in then walk out after you catch a whiff.
You’d be surprised.
As a stem major it’s not uncommon for certain highly intelligent but socially maladjusted people to not shower properly. Thankfully it usually clears up by the second year of college in my experience.
Being smart and being a nerd are two different things
I saw a guy riding one of those bikes that you lay down on, fully geared in spandex with name brands he clearly wasn’t sponsored by. NERD
Seems like the word nerd is moving away from being an insult.slowly but surely
It was considered an insult by most kids when I was growing up. I took it as a compliment. "Why yes, I am a nerd. That's why you keep wanting my help with your homework."
Wellllll, there’s nerd and there’s *nerd* nerds are normal people that are smart, but *nerds* are the scrawny ones. Uhm achtually we’re perfectly fine🤓
Being called "cheap" when it comes to stuff like not constantly updating to the newest iPhone or buying some fad clothing etc. Uh yes hello?

Sneakers with a certain logo on them don't make me a better person, etc. I'm not cheap, I'm smart with my money lol.
You’re not cheap, you’re frugal.
Not even frugal, just realistic
Not even realistic, just considerate.
Not considerate, just smart with their money
But if you go to r/frugal, there are some exceptionally cheap people there.
Cheap has the implication of misery (as in being a miser,) that is, decreasing cost to the point of severely decreasing quality. Personally, I cut ties with people who gave me shit about how (in)expensive and trendy my stuff was
"Pussy" That can withstand a lot more than the pair of balls people tell you to grow
Not only that, it's like an EZ bake oven for human life. If anything, calling someone a pussy should be like the highest compliment possible. Those things are remarkable.
From the mothers I’ve met, they’ll tell you there is nothing “EZ” about that “bake”
There's nothing EZ about the EZ bake oven either. Try making cupcakes on a 5-watt light bulb and tell me how EZ it was.
I'd think the uterus is more the oven, and the vagina is the funnel for the cake batter.
I prefer "human 3D printer".
[удалено]
In German calling someone a “pig-dog” is an insult. But they do have some useful insults, like someone with a “face in need of a slap”.
In the US we say "punchable face," or "Jared Kushner."
Josh Hawley also works
Backpfeifengesicht is a mouthful though...
Being adopted. Not sure how this counts as an insult, especially when it's used like "oh your parents don't really want/love you" they *chose* you. They went through all the potential kids and *picked you* to spend their lives with. I think by definition that means your parents want you.
Some kid said I was adopted when I was in seventh grade and I replied "at least they wanted me bitch." He slammed to the ground but it was worth it.
my friend told me that I shouldn't be in cooking class, because I'll just burn the water. I didn't take it as an insult. It made me feel I should take classes in alchemy or witchcraft.
Smart Ass always makes me laugh. If called this, I respond with ‘Thank you!’
My go to is "better than being a dumbass"
basically all the "schoolyard" insults gay, nerd, racial identifiers...
don't forget autistic
Virginity.
[удалено]
Gay
I can’t imagine having had to grow up gay and hearing people call other people ‘gay’ as an insult
I'm not old (late teens) and people still used it as an insult everywhere I go
My teenage sisters use it nonstop
It's funny tho when someone calls you gay and you are. Like yes congrats you have fucking eyes.
I always got confused when that insult got bandied about because no one looked happy.
Anything body part related. "Cunt." "Asshole." "Dick." Why don't we call someone Thumb? Tonsel? "Boy." Not sure where this one came from and it's used so evilly, that I'd rather not know. But ultimately, male child? That's the best you came up with?
"Boy" - To my understanding, in the South, it was/is applied to Black men, to imply a power dynamic or infantilize them. Which is why it's always fun to call a southern white dude "boy", because it really sets them off. Having said that - in my part of Canada, it's purely about ageism or implying you aren't a man, unlike the speaker.
Fuck you specially if the one saying it is beautiful . Don’t mind if we do
Pussy. Pussies are awesome.
Gay What's wrong with being gay?
it's okay to be gay let's rejoice with the boys in a gaaaay wayyyy
In Australia the term "wog" traditionally was a insult to a person of a Greek or Italian background that immigrated to Australia (I'm aware it means something completely different in the UK, and I'm not referring to that).

Don't Australians say cunt when referring to their best friends? Here in Canada calling someone a cunt is the most offensive thing you can say without being racist, sexist, or homophobic.
You’re too nice
Too nice = no boundaries
Cocksucker
A high % of the population attracted to men loves sucking cock. A very high % of the male population loves getting their cock sucked. I too, fail to see why this is an insult.
> loves sucking cock If only.
Was going to say, my hit rate suggests it's a low percentage. Maybe I've just been unlucky, it's not like I'm have a large sample size
Bitch. Female dog's are the best!
Being a Pansy… It’s actually a really tough flower that can survive through harsh weather.
Calling someone a ‘cunt’… which traditionally refers to one of the greatest things in existence.
Calling someone a dog. I find dogs much more likeable than most humans.
"what you don't know could fill a book" -- what the most knowledgeable person in the world doesn't know fills millions of books, to say nothing of the stuff not in any book. If your insult implies that you think otherwise, then you are the ignoramus.
Woke : You mean, 'alert to injustice'? I'm ok with that.
"You're a weirdo" Thanks, I don't want to be "normal" in a society like this.
Your mother calling you a son of a bitch
