Share some witty retorts that you have said or heard in this thread Some of my favorite put - downs are from Winston Churchill. Woman: Mr. Churchill, you are drunk! Churchill: Yes, madam, and you are ugly. But in the morning, I will be sober, and you will still be ugly. (I think this does not really meet the thread's requirement of an elegant put- down, as it is inelegant to tell a lady she is less than beautiful, but still... lol) Lady Astor: Winston, if I were married to you, I'd put poison in your coffee. Sir Winston Churchill: Nancy, if you were my wife, I'd drink it. George Bernard Shaw: I am reserving two tickets for you for my premiere. Come and bring a friend - if you have one. Churchill: Impossible to be present for the first performance. Will attend second - if there is one.
W.C. Fields classic: "Madam, would you sleep with me for a million dollars?" She mulls it over and says, "Yes, I think I would." The man counters, "Would you sleep with me for ten dollars?" Indignant, she asks, "What do you think I am?" "I think we've already established that. We're merely haggling over the price."
Hahahah I like that! Here's another one of my favs: Lord Sandwich: Really, Mr. Wilkes, I don't know whether you'll die on the gallows or of the pox. John Wilkes: That depends, my lord, on whether I embrace your principles or your mistress. (-rotfl) PS: wow, PA has an automatic spell check installed on the forum? Neat! lol
"My gaze pierces your psychological veneer, your flesh-and-skull, deep into the tissues of your brain-mind, where I see, lying dormant, your full compendium of fuck-thoughts." This will especially work if the person you intend to insult doesn't know the word "compendium" but the surrounding audience does. They will then laugh at the insultee's gawking face and the insult will be highly effective. The insultee has been excluded from the rest to a position of ignorance.
Did you write that in Cornish, get a Spanish-hating French farmer to translate it into Basque, and then use Altavista to translate it into English via Japanese?
