Insults
Last 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?

A few years back, just turned 30, I was really into karate and achieved my Black belt..
Anyway, the main core of karate is "kata", a group of set piece moves including kicks and spins, jumps and punches.. you get the idea.
To practice, you can't exactly do it in the living room - unless you want to put your foot in the telly.. you need plenty of space.. so I visited the local park, taking my 2 dogs with me.
There was nobody about, so I started to practice, focusing and losing myself in the motions..while my dogs had a mooch about.
The next thing I heard was a lad no older than 7, holding a football shout to me..
"Oi... Karate Boy ".
1) A lad of 7.. calling a man of 30 "Karate Boy"..???
2) Does it really make sense to take the p!ss out of somebody doing karate??
He went on.. "Are you gonna kick your dogs in the head"?
Rolling my eyes, I left the park..
Years from now, as he grows up, he will be able to tell his grandchildren of the day he beat a black belt with a single insult.
