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?

'Twas on the good ship Venus
Wasn't really.I think it was called the Sunbird. On board a cruise in the Med in 2001, Lady P & myself were standing near the Pursers counter waiting to book a coach trip at the next port of call. From within an adjacent office came the loud voice of someone who we later found out was a very senior member of the crew, talking to one of her underlings. She roared - 'I'm going to rip off his head and shit down his neck.'
She obviously hadn't reckoned that dozens of passengers were within earshot. There was quite a lot of stifled laughter from many of the stuffy old fuddy-duddies nearby who obviously were not used to that type of language, but found it funny just the same.
