    I always love seeing people from outside Ireland try to process Traveller insults like 'Your fat head is swollen with the innocence'.

    A big calves head on you with your cows tits and rats nipples! :D

    I guess your the sap in the family tree
    He wouldn't know his arse from his elbow
    Best insult i ever heard was an overweight person said "it runs in the family", "Na love the problem is nobody runs in the family"

    A middle aged man beside me was getting married a few years ago and a neighbour who wasn't on terms with him, met him on the lane and as they were passing he stuck his head out the window of the car and said, good man joey, I hope your bag festers and your balls fall out before you get near her?

    Wouldn't use bleedin' part but Jesus it has it been a long time since I heard someone being called a thick.
    Am I the only one who finds some of the insults bring back good memories?
