Oh, oh, and I thought of another hilarious insult. One time my mom was really upset with me, and the most insulting thing she could come up with was "Well, YOU'RE BOSSY!"
I just laughed and was like, "Yeah, I am bossy. That's not really an insult."

oddly enough its been a while since I was the recipient of a good insult... I'll have to make that my mission of the day so I have something useful to post here.
That thread may be the most entertaining thread so far on GBCN from sheer absurdity. How DARE you exaggerate how many elephants a pope had in his possession! He didn't even buy his pet elephant himself! It was a GIFT! DO YOU EVEN KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HISTORY, SMOCK?
Ha, smock. This has nothing to do with my size and more to do with my hairiness. The insult came from someone with 20 times more hair than me, so I found it funny.
SueSue- I'm not quite sure how to respond to that one.
I was walking down a hallway at work, and came to an intersection. A male employee got to the intersection at the same time. I stopped to let him pass and he waved me ahead and said "beauty before age, but I guess that doesn't really apply".
I consider it a non-insult insult because this guy is 60 years old and looks and acts like Tony Soprano.
I laughed about that one for a good 10 minutes. We were passing by the CEO's secretary as he said that too, so she heard everything. She audibly gasped when he said it.

When I was HS my mom on various occasions called me "bawdy" and "a pinko." Both true, so I just couldn't take the insults as they were intended by my straitlaced, Reagan-worshipping mother.
I've been told I have a very distinctive walk, that I walk with purpose. My coworkers always know when I'm walking down the hall. I'm also one of the few that wears heels, so there's that. Now that I've switched to flats, they are screwed.
I can't believe smock is such a Luther. I really had you pegged as more of a Calvin.
Yes pinko as in communist sympathizer (a pale shade of red). I think it's a McCarthy-era type epithet.
You can read about the term on Wikipedia lol. Apparently it was popular with Gov. George Wallace, Archie Bunker (directed toward Meathead), and Morton Downey Jr. Ha, remember THAT guy?

This is what I thought. I just couldn't imagine a kid being called a pinko. Then I realized that you were in HS at the time and it all made much more sense. Anyway, I'm sure it's something that you'll grow out of.
