Are you tired of using the same old insults for people who annoy you? Are you tired of using the same insults as everyone else? I know I am, but worry not, the great’s of Science Fiction and Fantasy novels have your back with some really cool insults that you can use without actually abusing. Folks at io9 spent some time to generate a list of 20 best insults and it has some gems. Below are some examples that I especially liked:<\/p>\n

3) Timequake by Kurt Vonnegut<\/p>\n

“If your brains were dynamite there wouldn’t be enough to blow your hat off.”<\/p>\n

5) Mort by Terry Pratchett<\/p>\n

“‘It would seem that you have no useful skill or talent whatsoever,’ he said. ‘Have you thought of going into teaching?'”
\n6) Redwall by Brian Jacques<\/p>\n

“To describe the young haremaid’s singing voice as akin to a frog trapped beneath a hot stone would have been a great insult to both frog and stone.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Check out the whole list at 20 Great Insults from Science Fiction and Fantasy Books<\/a><\/p>\n

Maybe I should start using these more often. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
