So, you're in an online game, and someone starts yelling about how something is 'gay'.
Why do they do this? It is not because they are homophobic (most likely) but because they probably don't have another adjective at the ready.
I've been fomenting ways to help fix the situation. We need a script of sorts, of appropriate language. And a script of canned responses to casual sexism...or racism..or other ism.
So what are your favorite gender free, non homophobic, non racist insults?
Some of mine, that I borrow from my Father liberally:
'Jack Wagon'
'Ignorant Spitoon'
'Doorknob'
The whole 'shit' suite is okay. (Shit head, shit disturber)
'Sharp as a bowling ball'
'Odd like a spherical cow'
'Irrational like pi'
So what are some of yours?
EDIT: From my wife 'coprophagic belching donkey'

I don't insult much, especially not in text form, but when I do, I usually keep to the standard fare of 'stupid', 'idiotic', 'moronic' (and associated nouns).
ReplyDeleteBut if you look for inspiration, Captain Haddock is the master of insulting non-insults: http://www.tintinologist.org/guides/lists/curses.html
