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?

in greeceif someone tells you to do somthing or gives a statement which, to them is important but to you is unimportant you say:
"I'll write it on my old shoes" [polite version]
or the more common version:
"I'll write it on my bollocks"
eg. you're driving in athens and the side of your car gets scratched up by a taxi driver over-taking you on the fucking pavement. and you say "hey! you just scratched up my car!"
they say:
"I'll write it on my bollocks"
but of course the "I'll write it on my bollocks" statment is too much effort for the lazy greeks so it soon turns into:
"here" (na in greek)
and then we're left with the simple guesture towards ones own crotch. which means the same thing.
so when my wife tells me i have to empty the rubbish. i simply guesture towards my crotch and she knows i mean: "oh how important! i'll just write that down on my bollocks darling".
It also works very well as a double irony. eg:
"TAKE ME TO THE FUCKING HOSPITAL THE BABIES HEADS POPPING OUT!"
"is it? thats nice dear. I'll just write that down on my old shoes"
