Three underused insulting words
Maggie Mason née Berry offered a point of inspiration:
Prompt on page 16 of
No One Cares What You Had for Lunch: 100 Ideas for Your Blog.
Three insulting words I’d love to teach you:
1. Spacker
Highly derogatory. Refrain from using in front of UK nationals or those sensitive to the word “retard”.
Cior: Why can’t Sally figure out how to use the sphygmomanometer or the pulse oximeter? The first machine was not broken, nor was the second…
Ciaran: [ Matter of factly ] That’s because Sally is a spacker.
Cior: [ uncontrolable laughter, to the detriment of a fresh abdominal incision ]
2. Goat Rope
As in, “Working with Sumati was like pulling a goat rope.”
3. Bad Actor
As in, “The fit Hilary threw at brunch was surreal, bad acting.”
