InsultsLast week two kids ran past me, one chasing the other. As they passed, the little boy turns to the girl chasing him and screams, "go away, you, you... you GIRLPANTS."
She stopped dead, cut to the core. Well, sort of. Anyway, we've added it to our repertoire, but are keen to expand further our sweary lexicon. What's the best insult you've heard? How effective was it? How did they retaliate?

One from schoolWhen I was a teenage delinquent (not quite) I learned that the very best of insults are ones that prey upon an element of truth or exploit a deep personal insecurity. It was probably the most valuable thing my bumfish French teacher ever gave me.
When shouting at me (really close, in my face) I was physically repulsed by the stench of his breath (halitosis? teachers? NEVER!) I calmly replied when he paused to inhale;
"Will you please move back, your breath smells like dogshit and it's really making me feel unwell" it was a rare occasion for me to have the entire class roaring with laughter nad rather enjoyable.
Rather than being expelled, suspended, reported or physically beaten as I'd expected, he just blushed a shade of nuclear beetroot and left the room.
