My favourite insult was by Oscar Wilde;

"He had no enemies, but all his friends disliked him intensely."

I rely on Peggy Bundy's maiden name to get me through the day.

From TGM Disturbed whilst on the loo by a call from the Lord Privy Seal..

"Tell him I can only deal with one s*** at a time."

T 0 $ $ 3 R. And a few others will definitely stand the test of time.

Your wife, sirrah, under the pretext of keeping a bawdy house, is a received of stolen goods.

Upset becasue you hear all of them on a daily basis?

[youngmafbog]

It's only a poll of 2000 so not really showing anything.

And put downs change all the time, if only to get round rediculous filters like the one AB has.  I mean its good enough for a National Broadcaster but not pious AB!

"You are a thief and a murderer: you have killed a baboon and stolen his face" - was apparently common in the 18th century. it was repeated (although slightly paraphrased to fit the rhyming scan) in a recent single recording.

I see one of the modern insults is to call someone A Pfeffel    🤣It is the Latest way of calling a  person a Plonker.🤣
