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?

MindaOnly people from Adelaide, South Australia would know that Minda is a home for the intellectually handicapped and also one of the most enduring childhood insults, as in "you're such a minda!".
Of course once you're past about 12 years old you pretty much stop saying that so I (in my 40s and having moved out of Adelaide 20 years ago) had almost completely forgotten the word.
So a couple of weeks ago, I actually stopped dead in my tracks and laughed for about two minutes straight when leaving a work-related function and I passed a very senior executive who like me had grown up in Adelaide.
"See you later," he cries as I wave from the door, followed by "YA MINDA!.
