    You are amazing, all the self control of Donald Trump with the charismatic charm of Mark Zuckerburg.

    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)

        “Your mom is a hoe and your dad is an alcoholic.”

        Explanation

        Hamsters have a lot of random sex and elderberries can be fermented into wine.

        (You DO need Fr*nch accent to make this insult work tho)

    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.

    I saw one here the other day calling someone a soup fork. I’ve been using that for people who are completely useless.

    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.

    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
