Are You a Struggler or a Flake?

[Ford Prefect]

Special is a good word to use in the right situations as well. It can apply in a couple different contexts. You can call someone special if they have a pretty high opinion of themselves and come off like a first round draft pick. And of course there's always the old favourite "special ed" connotation of the word.

I also like "Sally" in that situation, when a woman's being particularly annoying about something. Kramer used it on Seinfeld once and it's been a Saintersism ever since. "Thanks there, Sally"

I use Diva to describe people like that. Its twice as insulting calling a guy a diva, but chicks hate it too.

I've always been partial to 'goof' and 'idiot'.

The students that I teach enjoy 'stupid kid' though I can't admit to many opportunities to use that one.

Or if you're at the bar watchin the game or somethin and some younger guys get lippy, callin them "son". I'm only in my mid-20's, so the belitteling is obvious. "Whats that, son?"

A lot of the insults in this thread I'd be able to shake off no problem, but this one would really make me mad....I pictured myself arguing with a guy at the bar and having him say this, and now I'm mad!

When I was fresh out of high school, I worked with a guy that would say stuff like this. We were both 18ish and he kept calling everyone son. . . pissed me off to no end.

I don't think too many girls would take this one to heart.

But I agree, definitely a keeper for a guy.

Brilliant.

Not really a type of person, but when someone calls me a "p***y" my standard reply is "...ya'r what ya eat. Shut-up, dick."

***********

EDIT: LOL...."dick" makes it, but "p***y" doesn't?

I bunch of my friends get all offended by buddy.. I dunno I use it sometimes without thinking but theres no belittling involved.. I also use buddy if I cant remember buddy's name.

Haha ya I've only used it a couple times and it didn't seem to go over quite well with em

Although not as effective, but you can replace "son" with "slick". Haha I say that five times a day, I love it.

When forgetting name, generic "man" is good for about twice. If the conversation goes longer than two "mans", better to own up and ask his name again.

For some reason, girls are more forgiving to me about forgetting names, given the nature of the beast.

[4X4]

That's the beauty here... You piss a guy off, but you use words that are part of a gentleman's vernacular.

A girl once called me a hipster doofus.

Tell me, am I a hipster doofus?

You're very attractive.

btw no Seinfeld references get past me. Ever. No matter how small and unassuming. I'm that crazy.

[flylock shox]

I've got a buddy who uses double-barreled foods to refer to people all the time.

"Hey there porkchop!"

"How's it hangin' flapjack!"

"How you doin' poundcake!"

Most people don't seem to know whether it's an insult or not. In fact, I'm not sure my friend even knows what he's trying to say.

[Five-hole]

I had a friend that used to say "what's up, butternuts?" Not quite sure what it meant but it was all the more infuriating for it.

I like "struggler". I'm gonna have to use that one.
