I want incredibly mundane insults like "you look like you have a terrible handshake."

The classic:

  • You look easy to draw

Others:

  • You are the type of person who makes the teenage cashier at Chipotle explain why guac costs extra.

  • You're the human equivalent of a bag of salad that goes bad the day you buy it, worthless after I already spent my cash.

  • Talking to you is like using a public restroom, sometimes necessary, never pleasant and leaves me feeling a little gross after.

  • Every conversation with you has the emotional texture of a Terms and Conditions pop-up.

  • Being around you feels like watching someone try parallel park for four minutes.

and the best I have ever hear with my own ears, which is not mundane, but is excellent when yelling at the top of your lungs so all the neighbors can hear: "You are a supercilious cunt"

Was it classic before this? That was my first exposure to the phrase.

[–] stopforgettingit@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

It was an instant classic. But also I call it a classic in the insult sense because its simple and can be applied to anyone.

Although the drawing's eyebrows are not as surprised as the real dude's are. lol

#3 is a real scalding, hospital admission level burn. I like #5 too because funny.

supercilious cunt

Damn. I used that exact phrase in an email to my ex-wife like 15 years ago. It's a good'n.

You know what, I literally just had the word supercilious pop into my head randomly like 5 minutes ago, then I realized I didn't know what it meant. I looked it up, went "huh" and opened Lemmy. The first post I opened was this one and I come across this comment

[–] FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

I don't think easy to draw is an insult but it is a really funny concept.
