Insults.

ref: The blue text balloon in right logo- Ever heard of blue language?


Waited too late to insult someone -

Phrase: "pushing up daisies"
Means: "to be dead and buried"

Word: "excremate"
Means: "The act of excreting or shitting." (www.urbandictionary.com)

Word: "manure"
Means: Cattle excrement i.e. shit, more polite form for shit

The insult: "No need to excremate on the grave, he was so full of manure he can push up sunflowers without help."

hint: daisies are about 14 inches tall, sunflowers can be 5 or 6 feet. And manure is used as a fertilizer.


A simple "you're stupid" is unsophisticated.

Word: stupid
Means: an adjective, having or showing a great lack of intelligence or common sense.

Which should not be confused with -
Word: ignorant
Meaning: an adjective, lacking knowledge or awareness in general or uneducated

Benjamin Franklin on the subject:
“We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.”

Aristophanes on the subject:
"Ignorance can be cured, but stupidity is forever."

Me on the subject:
"Ignorance is easily cured, expending effort to remain ignorant is stupid."

The insult:
"My condolences on you permanent condition."
(would be completely obscure without lead-in statements)

Related - "Ignorance Is Bliss", a phrase coined by English poet Thomas Gray

Insult: "Explains your stupid extreme happiness."


"If (that person's) brains were made of dynamite they couldn't blow their nose." - Mine

Too short here! So,
"If (that person) had a brain, they'd take it out and play with it." - Unknown


From the movie "The Gauntlet".
Commissioner Blakelock to Detective Shockley:

"Now, can you handle it, or do I have to write it out in braille and shove it up your ass?"

My interpretation:
Maybe you'll understand better if I write it and put closer to your brain. Since you don't have eyes down there it will be in braille. (braille - An alphabet of bumps that blind people read with their fingers.)

My less blue version:
"Must I make you a braille seat cover so you understand?"


This is meant as a safe way to vent. If you found a bit of humor, that's good too! (As are PetPeeves.)
