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?

Joey DeaconFor those of you too lazy to read the early posts and too young to remember Blue Peter's brave attempt to bring attention to the social injustices of severe cerebral palsy sufferers, the figurehead of said campaign was a chap called Joey Deacon who would appear on TV every week to say "Mmmmmmmffffff... Mmmmmmmmnnnnffff!" which would be translated by his friend Ernie into "Joey would like to thank everyone who donated to the bring and buy sale, the disadvantaged kids of Birmingham can afford another community centre" or something.
Actually, looking back we only had Ernie's word for it that Joey was indeed attempting to thank the audience. Personally, I believe that Joey Deacon was trying to say "YOU CUNTS!" and that Ernie was only riding on Joeys coat-tails to fame, but it's open to debate.
Most schools used the term "Joey" as an insult, spoken loudly with tongue pushed into bottom lip in classic belming style.
However, in my school "Deacon!" was the ultimate in playground insults, always combined with a "Belm!". A schoolmate, Mark Deacon was particularly vexed at this however and took to belming the term "Ernie!" in response.
We're all going to hell.
