Our household’s had just a few ups and downs this week, so! On a enjoyable word…
What are your low-stakes insults? This quote from Justin Boldaji made me snicker:
Once we had been rising up, my siblings and I might complain to our mother about varied annoying individuals at college or work or ballet follow. Her reply? “They will take a flying leap!” And her backup? “Inform him to go soar in a lake.”
DANG, JEAN!
In the meantime, my dad, who works within the automotive trade, will get irritated by dangerous driving, however as a substitute of honking or shouting, he provides the offending driver a withering…thumbs down.
One other genius “insult” occurred just a few years in the past, when Toby, Anton and I had been visiting associates in Austin. Toby all the time lords his age over Anton — he’s three years and one month older — and he realized that it might drive his little brother loopy if he referred to as him, “Buddy,” as in “Nice job, buddy!” It was the funniest, most benign factor to say, however Anton bought SO irritated, rightly so!
What others do you may have? “My husband began saying ‘get a life’ a 12 months in the past,” commented @caseyremsing. “As soon as it turns into a part of your vernacular, you’ll discover it applies in any scenario.” Problem accepted.
P.S. Good life recommendation and what sort of accent do you may have?
