"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I dunno... I am far, FAR more confident of my ability to articulate scathing disdain in the written format than in the spoken, where grasping for an angry "So's your mom!" is far too likely in the heat of the moment.

I usually have already practiced a few either in my head or on other people. I'm not entirely off the cuff bitchy.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Only once, and with what ended up as a legendary insult amongst my friends with references to both Jonathan Swift and my 10th grade Geography teacher.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm going to put it out there that people can generally be more articulate in print, but you can't get the full effect of a hearty "fuck you" without actual spittle.

That there is wisdom, Jesse.

Happy Birthday Hil!

Insults are far more harsh in person.

Brain is hurting from first day at work without being able to log in to my computer.

Now tagless for your comfort.

ita, what's your favorite brand of sports bra? You mentioned it once but I forgot and I need to buy a really good one.

In person insults are the worst. I've had soul-crushing moments from in-your-face insults. Written criticism isn't nearly as bad.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Not ita, and don't even own a sports bra, but I hear tell that Title Nine is the place to go for them, and they are very helpful with advice on choosing over the phone. [link]
