Every once in awhile, you need to diss someone. While it needs to sting, it also has to be tasteful. Swearing just makes the insult launcher sound like a bit of an ass, so it's important to insult people accurately.
Struggler. I love this word. An example of the perfect context to use it in would be when you're riding around with your friend and he or she needs to seven point a parallel park. Then you have to walk to the curb to boot. As you're walking away from the car, you say to him "You're a bit of a struggler, eh?".
Flake. Another oldie but a goodie. Perfectly defines that friend you have that is totally unreliable. They make plans and then change their mind at the last minute. Now you're all dressed up with nowhere to go. They call you 10 minutes before you're supposed to leave and say "Uh, I just don't feel like going.".
You reply "You're a bit of a flake, eh?". Click.
Tacky. Now, the word itself can almost be defined as tacky, but it still has usefulness in today's vocabulary. Like when you go to your friend's place and they take you to the bathroom to show you their brand new porno calender. They think it's the greatest thing ever. You just tell them it's "pretty tacky".
Misunderstood. This one needs to be executed perfectly. A good time to use it is when people are complaining about things that you find trivial (cue the 4x4 driving rants).
Someone is going on and on about something like that and you roll your eyes and say "You poor guy. You're just so misunderstood.".
Poser. This one is quite a bit more common. We can't let this word go out of style. It accurately defines your friend with a badass 4x4 that has never driven it off road or even transported a tool with it. Also great for people that have West Coast Choppers stickers on their ride, but they don't even have their class 6 (that'd be a motorcycle license).
That's my thought provoking thread for the day. I know, it's a bit "useless".
Are You a Struggler or a Flake?
