"She can swear like a sailor" or so they say.
I'm too much of a prude to really pull it off so I've come here to ask the impossible of you:

Without banning yourselves from these forums and/or using typical four-letter words, please post some insults/jibes/taunts/banter/witty reparte that would make your mother wish she could unbirth you. When I eventually run this AP, I'll work in as many of the good ones as I can. If I can remember to do so, I'll come back to give you credit and +1 you.

Thanks! :-D

Calling someone the son/daughter of a poxy whore always seems to go over well on a pirate ship.

The big point of a good insult is not what you say, but HOW you say it. best full of nasty implication....

like "You.Are. such a .....stupid dolphin, you scrapmouthed landlubber.... belay the sheet and then kiss the mast !"
= e.g." you are to bleary/dumb to even hold the rope (sheet), belay and get whipped...."
