    Okay guys, let's return to the immature environments of the schoolyard and share our favourite insults. Obviously, I am not talking about profanity, but simply about insults that we find funny or like using. :)

    I have quite a few, but as English is not my native language, most of them are in other languages. Finnish has the greatest of terms for "valley girls" or any other person who acts like some sort of overgrown, airhead teenager and that is pissa-Liisa. Literally meaning "pee Lisa" and in Swedish the equivalence would be fjortis derriving from the word 'fjorton' which means fourteen. I prefer "Pee-Lisa" though. :laughing:

    Another fantastic Finnish pejorative is kukkahattutäti which literally translates into "Aunt Flowerhat" and is used to describe someone (often an older woman) who tries to control the behaviours of othets with their strict moral views. :grin:

    Just felt I had to share these and introduce them to the English language. :p Might add more, but first it is your turn. I may also add that I never actually use these, but I just find them incredibly funny.

    I work with a couple of guys who greet each other with, "Good morning, Candy-ass." "Good morning, Sugar-britches".
