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?

RacismI often find it interesting when a policeman, say, or some other authority figure is accused of racism, largely because they called an Afro-Caribean person a black bastard.
The thing that always interests me about these cases is that the suspect is never concerned about being called a "bastard", it's the word "black" they seem to find offensive. Which is weird because in the phrase "black bastard" the word "black" is merely an adjective, and could be substituted for other words such as "pikey", "fat", "stupid" or "welsh".
So, in other words, they're objecting to being described as black, which is surely the one thing about the insult which is provably correct.
I find it interesting anyway.
