I'm partial to "Douche".

My one sister considers it sexist to use douche as an insult. I argue that, barring a very few particular medical excpetions, douch its self is sexist (ahhh! vaginas are dirrrrrty!) and makes an excellent cuss.

Plus? Fun to say.

What's the worst thing you can think of to call an evil earth-defiling Humanity-shaming creature you'd be loathe to wipe off the bottom of your shoe?

"Conversations end when one person calls another a douchebag," Trudy.

No "douche" exception?

Just showing off my Rainman-like ability to quote from HBO, Trudy. Although it would tickle me to death if Ari got read into the Congressional Record. Bunning is absolutely an old-school Listerine douche, and working damn hard to capture the Pretty Princess of Congress award from that Lieberman bitch. Way to have a legacy, Senator.

Culturally speaking, I think HBO quotes pretty much rise to the level of scripture these days.

Well, I can certainly quote more of them. (Waits for Piven "More Popular Than Jesus" fracas...cause you know he'd be the one, don't you?)

"Conversations end when one person calls another a douchebag,"

So, if I *want* the conversation to end...?

I'm liking "shitweasel". Unfair to the weasel community, of course. But weasel is a fun word.

Honestly, calling someone a "douche" or variation thereof sounds, to my ears, like the dirtiest, most shameful thing I could call anyone. Just saying it makes me feel like a bad girl, just waiting to get slapped for it. Probably because I never heard that insult until I moved to Jersey, so it still has the frisson of taboo for me.

So, yeah. "Douche".

Or the recently popular "douchenozzle".

Hmmm. Insults...

Anal leakage? Shitpile? Shit-for-brains?

How about "You sheep-humping shitpile?"

It's alliterative, and sheep-humping is generally seen as base!

ION, I am trying a week without Ambien, since I am out and can't get my script until paycheck. My tolerance has been going up; I'm on a 20 mg dosage now, and sometimes, I still wake up after only 3 or 4 hours.

I would like to use less, or get off it entirely. SO this week, I am experimenting with calcium/magnesium supplements, valerian extract in capsule form (SMELLS LIKE FEET OMFG!! but still better than when I was trying to drink it as tea, years ago) and Traditional Medicinals Nighty Night tea.

Saturday night, I went to bed at 4 am, slept from 8 am to 12:30; last night, went to bed at 6 am and slept from 7:30 or so until 11:30 am.

We shall see. I am also trying to stretch more, get out into the sunshine more, and using anxiety-reducing techniques and am not allowing myself on the computer for three hours before trying to go to bed.

Wish me luck, y'all.
