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?

The ultimate insult!When I was about 10 or so, all the kids in my street would ride out bikes about the bottom of the cul-de-sac, explore bushland, annoy the neighbours, etc.
One of the more annoying members of this little gang had her even more annoying cousin of the same age stay over from England (no offence to Brits, most of you seem quite lovely). This girl immediately took a liking to one of the boys in the group named Daniel.
Annoying girl took every opportunity she could to show off by acting really tough whenever he was around. She was horribly rude to her own cousin and myself by generally being a big smart ass and swearing. She was quite fond of the phrase, "Fuck up!" which I've always found rather odd.
One day, Daniel brought his skateboard with him. Now us kids had all had a go on his skateboard and had learnt how to do this little maneouvre which I can't quite remember the name of, but it went something like this: You hold your backfoot on one end of the skateboard to hold it at an angle, push down on your front foot at the front of the skateboard and do a 360 spin. Nothing fancy, but us non skateboarders were pretty chuffed we could do it. (if any b3ta skateboarders know what this is called, i'd love to know!)
Annoying Girl seized Daniel's skateboard. He asked her if was a skateboarder.
"Oh yeah," she bragged, "I skateboard all the time."
"Can you do a [whatever that move was called]?" asked Daniel.
"Of course I can!" she said.
"Go on then."
She hopped on the skateboard, began to tilt it to one side... and promptly fell off. We cacked ourselves laughing, of course.
She kept trying, and failing, and we kept laughing.
"Hah!" laughed I. "If you can't do that, you can't really skateboard at all!"
By this time, the annoying girl had gone red in the face with sheer frustration. After all, she had just been caught lying, her attempts at looking cool had failed, and she was continually falling on her ass in front of a boy she liked. My comment had obviously sent her over the edge as she kicked the skateboard away and stormed back inside, screaming over her shoulder,
"DICK OFF!"
