    I thought it would make a change, and test our collective vocabularies as we try to come up with polite insults. The rules are simple - no swearing, no sexual words, and nothing that on it's own would be offensive to anyone, and the insult must make sense. You don't have to make them up yourselves, so if you've heared a good one, use that. I'll start the ball rolling... Though I may never see you again, I wish you the warmest clam chowder, the finest of embalmings, and the best in stainless steel cadaver pans that money can buy. That one came from here[^]. They have ones depending on the type of person you are talking to. Nice. :)

          One I got from a book and used often in my teens was 'May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits'. Did I mention I had long hair and listened to Iron Maiden ? Needless to say, I was too literate for the small proportion of the world who were not repulsed by the sight of me. I had no friends. But now I make more money than all of them, I wish there was a way to let them know.......

                  I've always liked Monty Python: "You don't frighten us, English pig-dog! Go and boil your bottoms, son of a silly person. I blow my nose on you, so-called Arthur-king, you and your silly English kiniggets." and "I don't want to talk to you, no more, you empty-headed animal, food trough wiper. I fart in your general direction. You mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries." OK, OK - not exactly polite but very funny!! ;P ;P Mike Mullikin :beer:

                                I thought it would make a change, and test our collective vocabularies as we try to come up with polite insults. The rules are simple - no swearing, no sexual words, and nothing that on it's own would be offensive to anyone, and the insult must make sense. You don't have to make them up yourselves, so if you've heared a good one, use that. I'll start the ball rolling... Though I may never see you again, I wish you the warmest clam chowder, the finest of embalmings, and the best in stainless steel cadaver pans that money can buy. That one came from here[^]. They have ones depending on the type of person you are talking to. Nice. :)

                                Most people make random mistakes. Its good to see someone who makes a determined effort. Would you like to meet my teddy bear ?

                                  • Ahhh...I see the screw-up fairy has visited us again...
                                  • The fact that no one understands you doesn't mean you're an artist.
                                  • I don't know what your problem is, but I'll bet it's hard to pronounce.
                                  • Any connection between your reality and mine is purely coincidental.
                                  • I like you. You remind me of when I was young and stupid.
                                  • What am I? Flypaper for freaks!?
                                  • I'm not being rude. You're just insignificant.
                                  • I'm already visualizing the duct tape over your mouth.
                                  • Thank you. We're all refreshed and challenged by your unique point of view.
                                  • I'll try being nicer if you'll try being smarter.
                                  • I see you've set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public.

                                        How about "You may think so. I couldn't possibly comment"? The Project Manager on my last project used to use that phrase in reply to people from "upstairs" who were obviously talking out of other orifices than the customary ones. :laugh: Anna :rose: "Be yourself - not what others think you should be"

                                          Upon his defeat, an english captain shouted to the victorious Surcouf: - "We English fight for glory whereas you French only fight for money". - "Everyone fights for what he hasn’t got", replied Surcouf
