While I said I don't want it to be a struggle session, cool headed good faith discussion is also appreciated. This just came up with some comrades of mine and I couldn't find the last post about it so if anyone has the link that would be great too.

Gotta go old-school.

There are thousands of years of insults to draw on.

STERCULINUM PUBLICUM!

Just straight up calling someone a public toilet.

Yiddish has insults. Like you can insult people in any language, and then you can insult people in Yiddish.

Of course you've got your looney toons

You just can't go wrong reaching back a few decades, centuries, or millenia.

Edit: "More of your conversation would infect my brain." Shakespeare talking abut brainworms in 1297 or whatever.
