I have neither the crayons nor the inclination to explain it to you.
I saw one here the other day calling someone a soup fork. I've been using that for people who are completely useless.
I've also heard "wind sandwich."
I work with an older lady who hits people with "you're so pretty" when they do or ask something stupid and I love it.
I first saw this used by Hugh Hefner in some reality TV show with some of his bimbos in Venice. One of them said how cool it was to be where Al Capone was born and he responded with, "You're so pretty." Of course, she absolutely took the compliment at face value.
“Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!”
Beat me to it
I can read it to you all day but unfortunately I cannot understand it for you.
Big fan of a slow disapproving head shake and a thumbs down. Especially in road rage situations (or any time I see a Cybertruck).
I only recently discovered the power of the thumbs down in the car. It is magical.
The classic southern "Bless your heart"
I bet you sit on the TV and watch the sofa.
I love how you don't let facts influence your opinion.
I can explain it to you, but I cannot understand it for you.
I have to thank the one and only James May for introducing me to “you witless dishcloth”

Did your mother have any children that lived?
Just respond to everything they say with "sorry, I'm not into Pokemon."
Chuckle and as you walk away, and under your breath but just loud enough to hear, say "eyebrows" in a way that sounds like you were amused and thinking about how it amused you. They will think about that for years, as I have been
You're about as smart as a bag of hammers.
Or like Foghorn Leghorn said, “nice kid, but about as sharp as a sackful of wet mice!”
They’re a south-pointing compass (if they assert something, you know it’s wrong)
You make this world not worth saving.
A few beers short of a six pack
You are the proud owner of not a single redeeming quality.
There’s a great artist that sells stuff at our local ren-faire; I bought a fridge magnet that says “I saw thee, and thought my day unwell.” It’s illuminated like an old manuscript and depicts a slim greyhound tossing his cookies.
From my friend - You're the load your mom should have swallowed.
... Do the down votes prefer anal?
The truth. The reason you'd want to insult them as a direct pointed criticism.
- Have you been tending to your hounds? You smell like a wet dog!
- Is that fur growing out of your ears?
I love this one from Coriolanus:
For you, be that you are, long, and your misery increase with your age!
Have the day you deserve!
You're lucky your momma died giving birth to you. If she saw you now, she would've died of shame.
"You look so generic I got a deja vu the first time we met."
I keep recycling this one but it's hard not to. I have so few good ideas!
"You are not acting like the person Mr. Rogers knew you could be."
Guaranteed to slug the inner child of, at least, three or four generations. Might have diminishing returns at the extremes (brainwashed boomers and brainrot zoomers) but should still hit pretty hard on those who grew up watching Fred Rogers and are capable of some amount of introspection.
You look like you trust politicians/newspapers/AI
You think that streamer likes you
Your brain could revolve around inside a peanut shell without ever touching the sides
You have a head full of vacuous nothings that occasionally leak out of your mouth
(To name a few that I enjoy)
"I say this with the greatest respect...."
"you're the sharpest bulb in the chandelier"
Your ma wears high heels with tracksuit bottoms.
"You're irrelevant to me."
Thick as mince
Too offensive for lemmy.ml
Removed is the best one.
You two make quite the wit.
