—What's the worst possible thing you can call a woman? Don't hold back, now.
You??re probably thinking of words like slut, whore, bitch, cunt (I told you not to hold back!), skank.
Okay, now, what are the worst things you can call a guy? Fag, girl, bitch, pussy. I??ve even heard the term —mangina.??
Notice anything? The worst thing you can call a girl is a girl. The worst thing you can call a guy is a girl. Being a woman is the ultimate insult. Now tell me that's not royally fucked up.??

Yeah, that's what I've noticed so far.

I think it's especially insulting to call a woman a man's genitals lol @ genitals. and vice versa. It's just a bit more creative.

That's what I like about other languages, mainly eur ones. There are so many ways to insult people, and it's not always the hard-hitting cursing. Just a little change to the ending can make a huge difference.



I don't know much about other languages. I speak Spanish because it's my native language and I'd say it's pretty much the same as English when it comes to cussing and stuff.

In Polish you can really get good at cleverly insulting people. For example:

sklej to pizde or wargi is a way to tell someone to shut up. But it's a play on words. I'm talking more about playing on words.

Google says "glue or a cunt lips".

Hmm, I don't quite get it, but I kind of do.

This is true. I often hear my guy friends call each other a pussy. I like being included in the group so I try not to give them a hard time, but every now & then I have to ask, "why is that an insult when we know you LOVE pussy sooo much!?"

It seems about as silly as me calling someone a big chunk of milk chocolate as an insult.



Haha, good one.
