There are few things on this Earth that are more satisfying than witnessing a simple, clever, and well-deserved insult.
And this week when Reddit user midskycollision asked, "What is the harshest G-Rated insult you have received?" it proved that, sometimes, the most memorable comebacks are actually child-friendly.
Here are some of the most BRUTAL insults shared:
1."I was once told I was 'more disappointing than an unsalted pretzel.'"
3."My 7-year-old sister had kissed a boy at school and I was joking about it. She then proceeded to write me a note next to a drawing of me that said: 'I kissed a boy, but you are 26 and still don't have a boyfriend. That's a funnier joke.'"
4."Someone called me a 'crunchy lizard' once, in reference to my hair gel. I asked why that was a bad thing and she said, 'A crunchy lizard is not a happy lizard.'"
8."I was pestering my then-girlfriend/now-wife and she turned to me and said, 'You need to go home and think about everything you are...then change it.' My jaw dropped and she immediately started apologizing. She had meant for it to be kind of snotty, but realized how harsh it had come out and felt bad."
10."This exchange happened accidentally between me and my boyfriend the other day and it's been legendary for us ever since: After making an honest mistake he said, 'Sorry I'm an idiot.' And I, wanting to reassure him but failing miserably, replied, 'Don't be sorry for who you are!'"
12."I was playing a drinking game that involved the rules being made on the fly as we went along. We had a 'no swearing' rule, and THEN an 'insult' rule, which automatically made it G-rated. My friend was up and I was the one receiving the insult when, without hesitation, she said, 'Your teeth aren't as white as they could be!' I was flabbergasted."
14."I accidentally cut someone off the other day and, instead of flipping me off, the guy gave me a big thumbs down out the window and, for some reason, that hit harder."
