Basking In The Ambiance!

Submitted by Sassys on July 15, 2008 - 12:06pm. Intelligence | language | words

"Bask in the ambiance" Now that could mean many things...I love languages and interesting conversations.
The English are masters of their language, they can and often do, say things like "You blithering Blighter" or "You bloody Bishop basher"....We Americans are far more crude when we take it upon ourselves to call someone a "Blithering Idiot" or
(Bishops aside) "You Jackoff".

Personally I find it both amusing and very telling. Does someone who is adept with a handy put down sound more insulting if they cuss? Only if the person at the receiving end of the insult gets its meaning. There is nothing more irritating than insulting someone that doesn't get the meaning of the insult, they give back this blank look:(

When a Spaniard calls someone a "Deshecho" The literal translation is "Un-Done" I love that insult "You sir are un-done"
Have you ever had an idiot insult you? They say things like "Your Mama" desperately trying to tug at your emotional stability.
It's more fun to do battle with someone who knows beyond any reasonable doubt what a "dolt" is.
Like it's funny when passing gas to immediately say "Bask in the ambiance" to those unfortunate enough to have been nasally assaulted, rather than "Hey I farted".

What is the worst insult someone has said to you? I bet it didn't have one cuss word in it. Why? Because it leaves no room for doubt. Like calling someone a simpleton or fool versus an asshole. One is a body part while the other is a marked lack of intelligence.

A fellow I work with told a customer of ours "Our wings are so good they'll make a tadpole pimp slap a whale" Now when I heard that I new instantly that if I ever get in an argument at work I want that guy on my side!
Witty and sharp is MY kind of ambiance!!

Not bad, Sassy-girl. Although, if I'm going to rub it in after I've farted, I'm probably more prone to saying, "Suck it up, asshole!" LOLOL!!! Yeah, that's just the kinda "dolt" I am. LOL!!!

I'm pretty sure I was raised to avoid "passing gas" in the presence of others at all costs, and certainly to avoid mentioning it if the most unfortunate act should occur. :)

I was told at a very young age "one is to be lady like at all costs" So I got to telling people that I do not have any holes. Then again when one farts one could tell people "This too shall pass" What is the worst insult anyone has given you? Listen to me like people "give" insults away like candy:(

I wish I had that kind of control, Brenna.

And my mother and my grandmother wish it, too. LOL! Not that I let 'er rip constantly, you understand. But there are times when no amount of squeezing my butt-cheeks together will contain those suckers and the minute I take a step to leave the room it's gonna bloooooooowwwwwww!!! And then I'm gonna laugh. There's just no getting around it.

is an elevator repairman and he does the most evil of things...after he has fixed whatever problem the elevator has, he will fart and then climb the elevator shaft after closing the doors and watch as people get on the stinky thing and wonder where that foul odor is coming from! This would be one of the reasons I love him so much...he can be funny as hell:)

Good entry!

I've stolen from Deadwood, and have begun describing farts as "the air has gone fixed, and we all know who fixed it."

Yes, the best insults don't involve curse words, but occasionally, I use them anyway. Sometimes someone is being a "moronic blatherskyte", and other times they are being a "stupid, f*cking dipsh*t". If I'm driving, there will be cursing. :D

The French tend to get profane, and a lot of their insults involve members of the clergy or religious terms. In the old west (again from Deadwood), it was fine to call someone a c*cksucker, but calling someone a m*therf*cker was the worst insult you could level at someone. The English have a lot to do with bodily functions or body parts.

In Spain the worst thing you can call someone is "Tu eres mala leche" Which means "You are bad milk" what it really means is "your mother had sour milk"! Now thems fighting words:D LOL. Now I need to see Deadwood, I have heard it's a great movie...so it's something to do this weekend:)
