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?

Arab insults
Surpirsingly, arabs can come out with some of the most imaginitive insults I've ever heard...
Driving in Oman. Arab twunt runs into the back of our Landrover at a red light. 'Course, it's an old military Defender, so arab's toyota takes the brunt of the damage. But we get out to have a looksee anyway.
Arab bloke takes a look at the front of his crumpled Toyota, but realises it's his fault and there's nothing he can do about it. So in the spirit of international friendship he spits on the ground in front of me and yells something in arabic on the way back to his car.
Me to our arab guide back in the landrover:
"what did he say just then?"
arab translator (in broken english):
"he say...er... your mother is a goat and...er....nobody quite sure who your father is"
Hmmm....good one. I imagine it lost some of the impact in translation.
