Whats the most insulting thing anybody has every said to you in your life?

Feck, people are a whole load of nasty aren't they? I think the insults you receive as a child are the most wounding; children are vulnerable and defenceless against adult bullying.
I was a very fat child and teenager at a time when such were far fewer than today. I can recall almost every jibe and insult I received - far too numerous to recount here. Some of the ones that hurt the most came from adults, who really should have known better. I remember being about 14 and walking the streets aimlessly with some pals when a kid walking past with his parents sent some class of toy spinning in my direction. I stepped out of its way (quite deftly, as I recall, for a large person!) and handed it politely to the kid's Dad. Whereupon he proclaimed loudly, "Jaysus, lucky you didn't stand on it; it would have been crushed with the size of ya!" Cue pals looking into middle distance awkwardly as I die inside.
On another occasion I recall we were discussing some of the more soppy love scenes in "As You Like It" in English class. I was being a twerp, in fairness, and protesting far too much about the desirability of having a man professing such a level of devotion to his beloved. My teacher - who, incidentally, I greatly admired and respected - softened my cough immediately with the comment, "Don't worry, X, I can't ever imagine you being in that situation". The whole class ooh-ed and aah-ed and there were cries of "That's a bit mean", whereupon teacher protested that she merely meant I was fierce and feisty. Hmmmm. I'll never forget the humiliation of having all my worst fears and extreme self-hatred being confirmed, in front of 30 of my peers, by an adult for whom there was universal respect among us.
Ah, that was cathartic. Cheers, OP

'You are just a Nazi c*** like all other Germans'
There is an old farmer living near me. A German guy bought the old cottage next to him. He was very environmentally friendly, installed a rain harvesting system, solar panels, grows his own organic veg, free range chickens, did up the old cottage and made a great job of it.
One day the old farmer was burning a tractor tyre and about a tonne of black plastic silage wrap sending plumes of black smoke across the German guys house.
Eberhart the German came up to him and started to explain the damage this was doing to his family's health and the environment.
The old farmer took a long drag on his sweet afton and said "there was no word about the environment when ye were burning the jews".Multo autem ad rem magis pertinet quallis tibi vide aris quam allis

I've got a funny feeling that was (to her) an insulting question that she was asked, don't think it was directed at your good selfnaughtysmurf wrote: »Limerick :rolleyes:

During an argument between my mam and dad I picked up for my mam... I was about 11 years old.
He said in reply to me picking up for her "I should have left you cùnts in (insert village name) where I found you's"
The pluralising of the sentence always stuck with me, as before that I was used to him putting her down but not us both....
It wasn't till I was 25 I was informed that he wasn't my biological dad.

It wasnt said, more of an action. I was around 10-11 and wasnt playing well for my football team. Its a general rule at underage football that all players must play at some stage. We were in a tight game and conceded a late goal for them to make it 2-0. The manager put me on with not even a minute to go. The ref told the lads on my team to kick it to me from the restart. They passed the ball to me from the restart, i touched it just to control it and the ref blew up for full time :rolleyes:
My manager did get a bollocking from the ref after the match though which was a tad bit comforting 0 -

She said I used to walk on all fours and act like an animal.
She told me not to tell the parents cause they'd get mad at her for telling me, but that I deserved to know the truth.
Didn't find out she was lying till I was 11.
Maybe she was complimenting you on your cunningness. Was her way of saying you were "as cunning as a fox who's just been appointed Professor of Cunning at Oxford University"
An old lady who was my neighbour at home said I'd gotten broad.
Or an example of the ones I work with, when I was telling them I was seeing someone. One of them saw me at the cinema with her and he said the next day "She looks almost normal. Must be something wrong with her if she's with you"
And a girl said something along the lines of "Who'd want to go out with you?"
And those are 2 of the ones I got on with before they left the company. Good job I don;t take things to heart. :rolleyes:0 -

I have an only child and have always longed for another (i have 3 step children much older than my own daughter) I was having a long conversation with my middle step-daughter who was 20 at the time and had a baby of her own. I was telling her about always wanting another child but that her dad and I had decided against it for many different reasons. She than announced to me that it was probably best - if we had a baby, she said, I would never ever talk to "it" or even acknowledge it's existence. I was gob-smacked and stunned and her comment has stayed with me to this day. not so much an insult but a hurtful remark. I can see absolutely no reason for her to say it to my face, as we'd always got on so well, our relationship has deteriorated to this day and we no longer speak - makes me sad
(Wow glad i got that off my chest, resume with the funny answers)0 -

That is a pretty awful thing for her to say tbh.
Is your only child with her dad?0 -
