A rare insult is an insult that is a little hurtful for a second, but mostly really funny and true about you. You are probably gonna remember this insult for a long time too.
Just keep it pg fellow pandas! other than that, all replies are welcome :D

In grade 10 I would argue with my math teacher for at least 10-15min at the start of every class. The rest of the students just watched. He would also tell us, religiously, that he didn’t care if we passed because he still got paid. So one day in our usual bickering match I said “you always tell us you don’t care, then why do you bother to spend every day arguing with me?” He paused for a second, then said “that’s the smartest thing I’ve ever heard you say” and went to the blackboard. I literally did not know what to say. Thanks? I think?
Just out of legitimate curiosity, are you referring to me or that damn teacher as the psycho? I failed that class, by the way. Maneuvered my way to get proper credits for my country’s standards in order to graduate. I excelled in English, Law and Drama however. To each their own as far as knowing what you are good at. I am also, apparently, good at debating.

That sounds like a Yorkshire insult to me! Like ‚Tha meks a better door than window‘ when you‘re blocking someone’s view.
My Drill Instructor at Parris Island, 10,000 years ago-- "Boy-- you're lower than the smegma on a dead leper's p****r." Command of invective, that man had.
I complained about a loud-mouthed, drunk man at the ballet and he told me my voice was quieter than a mouse's fart. Admittedly the insult was in German, but I think it still stands!
‚Ihre Stimme ist so leise wie ein Mäusepups‘ or something rather like that, if memory serves
Load More Replies...Used to work as a cashier in a market, if someone was being rude or abusive I would say "I hope you have the day you deserve" instead of "have a nice day." Some of them, used to the common send-off, would respond 'thanks'.
I remember back in like 5th or 6th grade, I was a room monitor for the handicapped students in the morning before school. One of the kids who was blind was acting up. I went over to see what was going on and to stop the commotion. Dude got mad at me and, I quote "Shut up kid! I bet your ugly!" Pretty much, I just laughed it off and sat him down and I'm sure I said something in return, but can't remember. But that just caught me off guard.
Wow, thanks. Sometimes the auto typing doesn't know the difference. Glad I have the grammar police to correct for me. You saved the day.
Load More Replies..."You talk like you're in a dubbed anime"
It was not directed at me, but my favorite is "You look like when you die, you drop BASIC loot!"
One Christmas, I got a card from Santa. It said “Tidy your room”
"You look like you come from sturdy Norwegian stock". I don't even know what that means
Ooh, that's like when Irish people backhandedly insult someone by saying they look like they come from strong, farming stock - meaning, they're chunky.
Years ago, an elderly lady told me, " You have an unusual face." Gee, is there such a thing as a "usual" face?
I think I would be more insulted by the usual comment than the unusual one.
Load More Replies...Yes, there is. there is more than one of course but when you go to the mall and walk past hundreds of people and don't remember any of them - those are the usual faces. the one that stands out in your mind and maybe makes you comment about it to your friend is an unusual face.
At times, I have been called 'A Wealth of Useless Knowledge'. Not sure if it was intended as an insult, though. However, in future, I plan to start making use of the 'Shakespearean Insult Kit' - Shakespearean Insult Kit – Combine one word from each column, prefaced with ‘Thou’: Column 1Column 2Column 3 artlessbase-courtapple-john bawdybat-fowlingbaggage beslubberingbeef-wittedbarnacle bootless beetle-headed bladder churlishboil-brainedboar-pig cockeredclapper-clawedbugbear cloutedclay-brainedbum-bailey cravencommon-kissingcanker-blossom currishcrook-patedclack-dish dankishdismal-dreamingclotpole dissemblingdizzy-eyedcodpiece droningdog-heartedcoxcomb errantdread-bolteddeath-token fawningearth-vexingdewberry fobbingelf-skinnedflap-dragon frowardfat-kidneyedflax-wench frothyfen-suckedflirt-gill gleeking flap-mouthedfoot-licker goatishfly-bittenfustilarian gorbelliedfolly-fallengiglet impertinentfool-borngudgeon infectiousfull-gorgedhaggard jarringguts-gripingharpy loggerheaded half-faced hedge-pig lumpishhasty-wittedhorn-beast mammeringhedge-bornhugger-mugger mangledhell-hatedjoithead pestiferousmewling quim

Hetero cis female and my "fave" was when a guy i turned down for a date snarled, "Do you have gender identity issues?!" No. He, however, had courtesy issues. :-)
It means you're the same gender as the one you were assigned at birth.
Load More Replies...Someone in band came up to me and was like 'hey crow you look like you drink warm water' which was both deeply confusing and incredibly hurtful
i drink warm water some times now i dont know wether to be sad or confused
Same! Not voluntarily but sometimes I'm thirsty and the water is already room temperature and I don't want to wait
Load More Replies...WELL I boil water then BOIL IT AGAIN so it's EXTRA HOT and drink it IN HEATWAVES
Load More Replies...The only acceptable plain warm water (not tea or coffee) is shower water.
Getting called "homeschooler" in a derogatory manner. Bro, if I was ashamed of how I was schooled, I'd try harder to hide it.
Homeschooled our 3 kids, and we didn't do that great of a job. They 3 only tested out in the 70th percentile...government school kids are lucky to test in the 40th percentile, while an excellently home schooled kid will test around the 90th percentile.
so i recently changed my hair color again, its bright red and i have a shadow root, this one kid sees me with it and goes "EWWWW ITS ADAM LAMBERT BUT MORE EMO" that was supposed to be a stupid insult, but im honored to be Adam Lambert :) but it was an odd one because ive never heard of that one before. bet you hes never actually heard of his stuff tho
An old man was sitting on a bench in the mall when a young man with spiked hair came over and sat down beside him. The boy's hair was yellow, green, orange, and purple. He had black makeup around his eyes. The old man just stared at him. Finally the boy said, "what's the matter, old man, haven't you ever done anything wild in your life?" The old man thought for a while and answered, "well yes actually, I have, I once got drunk and had sex with a parrot. I was just wondering if you were my son."
Once somebody told me that I looked like If Emma Watson and Ted Bundy had a kid and I honestly didn't know whether I should laugh or cry.
Emma Watson and Ted Bundy are two good-looking people, so I'm not even sure that's an insult
in fourth grade it was clean up time because the school day was almost over. everyone had a cleanup job. one girl had trash duty where she walked around with a trashcan and put things inside. she walked up to me and said im putting all the trash from the classroom in this trash can, get in. the funny thing was that i zoned out and didn't realize what she said so i just said sure.
Not an insult, but a backhanded compliment from my favorite nurse. He told me "You are like an ox in a donkeys body." I replied "thanks?" He laughed and said "You know what I mean." I was the hardest working CNA on our floor. Still my favorite backhanded compliment that I've ever received.
For those like me who had to look it up: According to internet, CNA, Certified Nursing Assistant, helps nurses with patient care, including heavy physical care (lifting, turning etc.) that would require them to be as strong as an ox. I leave the donkey's body to your imagination :)
I have been a nurse going on 31 years this year. For the most part I have worked in geriatrics, i.e. nursing homes. I've heard stories about some hospital patients being entitled but you can get entitled nursing home residents on occasion. I lived in the Tampa Bay area of Florida for 5 years and I worked in a nursing home there on the 3pm-11pm shift and it was one of the best places I have ever worked and I have a lot of funny stories from working there but I rate this story one of the best. One evening I was passing my medications and one lady was being just plain nasty and mean and I wasn't having it. I usually don't let the residents get to me but I was having a bad day and while I can't remember our complete conversation she said something to me and I was being sarcastic back and she said "well you're a b!±ch" and without skipping a beat I said "that won't be the first time I've been called that and it certainly won't be the last" and walked away as her jaw dropped as she was expecting a fight from me but I was NOT going to indulge her that day 🤣🤣🤣🤣
When called a b***h, I simply say..."You say that like it's a bad thing."
Wow, that gives me such flashbacks, I had a shirt as a teen, with that text ("You say I'm a b***h like it's a bad things?"), I loved wearing that back then. Why would I wear a shirt like that? I dunno, teenage reasons I guess.
Load More Replies...(This is me being pedantic but…) Partner: “You look lovely, today.” Me: “As opposed to every other day, when I look like shite?” Why does the “today” turn it backhanded to me???
I decide to interpret that as "You look even lovelier than usual today". Is that likely, with my ugly face? Nope, but that's how I decide to hear it anyway, lol. But seriously, I don't think it's backhanded at all, I think it just means "The clothes/hairstyle/makeup you're wearing today, looks nice on you".
Some random guy at my school (I’m in 7th grade aka I’m 12) called me a and i quote “frog looking a*s with Clown nose” I laughed my butt off
My staff calls my husband a "schleprock". Had to look that up : "To carry heavy burdens. One who is said to unlucky or extreamly unfortunate. Also formerly a character on the popular cartoon "The Flintstones."
my older bro once got called “maggot bread” by my then 4-year-old brother and actually got offended 😂 lmao
lol everyone was, exept for him. He was just standing there flabbergasted. The funny thing; he was 13!!
Load More Replies...My favourite to use: "He couldn't figure out how to pour p**s out of a boot if the instructions were written on the heel" Received: not really a "unique" insult, but after 15 years of casual friendship with a woman and her husband, she and I had a misunderstanding that could have been cleared up easily but we never had the chance, because her husband sent me a nasty FB DM about "now we see your true colours" **eyeroll to the moon** Fifteen years you've known me... one mistaken misheard miscommunication, and suddenly THOSE are my true colours? Byeeeee
Ok, I have to admit that no one has actually used a good insult on ME. But there was a time where me and my cousin were coming up with insults trying to fit this exact theme, his best was: "If I had a penny for every idiot that talked to me, I'd now have another!"
Not the same thing but still funny. Someone rode past me on their bike and said my nose was bigger than his d**k. Obviously I said I feel bad for how small his d**k is then :)
I honestly have no idea what reaction that other person expected from this.
1) That i look like someone who can raise my eyebrows, yet I can't. ( i have really big and expressive eyebrows btw if anyone was wondering) 2) I am the shy girl from every manga :/
Doesn't the shy girl in manga usually end up meshing with the demon and slaying everyone around her? Just saying.
Idk i never read manga(idk where to start but if u have any recommendations plz tell me :D) but that sound so bad@ss and cool! i don't feel so bad about it anymore lol

Does someone want me to call them a twatbasket? Just so they can say they received the rare insult, twatbasket?

Load More Replies...I'm referred to as "Soft Can-Opener" multiple times a day.
Bouche says she hasn't seen you in forever, and if you expect her to rub against your ankles, there had better be serious cheese. She'd tell you herself, but she's busy hanging from the doorframe just now. Apparently it keeps the mousie toys in their place if she intimidates them first. I disagree, as I find them all over the house, but I'm just a soft can-opener, so what do I know?
Load More Replies...Ah, yes! Give them what they want, or they will use your shoes for a litter box.
I was my elderly grandfather’s caregiver and one evening he was being especially difficult as I was trying to give him his after dinner medication. He got so mad at me that he called me the worst thing that he could come up with….pip-squeak. Now, I am a rather large person, but I still had to cover my mouth and walk away to laugh. He was a very quiet and reserved man and never once swore in his entire 85 year existence. He passed away back in 1997 but I still laugh and tell this story every chance I get.
Not me but my Mum. After continuously dyeing her hair for 30+ years, needless to say its pretty dated. Ots not horrendous and falling out or anything but it definitely has that 'brittle frizziness' to it. Anyway, some kids had broken into our garden to steal our chicken's eggs and my Mum went to confront them. She has one Hell of a temper when she gets going and gave them a serious bollocking but they were having none of it. They just laughed at her and flipped her off as they climbed back over the wall. But not before the leader came out with: "Pfft, f**k off Hair Bear Bunch!" Obviously I felt bad for my Mum but secretly, I thought that was hilarious.
Need to add another one. My sister told me yesterday that I looked like "someone with a stick who thinks everyone else look'n like a piñata." XD I've never been so insulted and so tickled at the same time.
It's hilarious. Also a good way to point out that I was the one needing a nap, not everyone else.🤣

I worked for a while with a crusty, colorful, and hardened roofer, who was definitely a handful and put out vibes that he was troublesome to everybody who was in his orbit (except our boss, but including his decades-long comrades), especially guys like me who weren't and would never be hard-core roofers. Over time, I proved myself by being the best helper/demimechanic I possibly could because I have extensive parts/materials/engineering/mechanical/logistics skills and always had the guys' backs and could do anything with some direction. This man came to help me and more often than not treated me kindly and well, always totally on the qt, and we even had some good pleasant chats. Usually when I saw him first thing, and various times through the day, he would shout out "PN, You Dog F*cker!!!!" to establish dominance. My SO hates it when I tell her stories about this interaction, and everybody generally thinks it's crude/stupid/offensive/banal/etc., which it is, but for various reasons it's actually quite dear to my heart and I smile to myself when thinking of it. RIP Mr. Greg, hope you found some peace now
EDIT: I was so motivated to post this I didn't realize it may not be exactly what shanila.pheonix_ was looking for, since its NOT literally true about me LOL .... I hope this doesn't wreck the vibe here.....
Acknowledged, for sure..... I will always feel special, this guy was a hardass... he would also give me all kinds of help when nobody was around and I always told him I'll never tell <3 lol
Load More Replies...When insulted, I’ll reply, “Thank you! That’s a compliment coming from a person like you.” The person who insulted me always get frustrated and infuriated because they know it’s an insult but they can’t figure it out. They’ll ruminate over it for the rest of their life. It’s unique.
This isn't one someone has told me, but it's one I commonly use with my friends. I say 'best of the buttered beer-battered babyback bastard b***h boys from Boston" as fast as I can, and they can never tell what I'm fully saying. It doesn't mean anything and it's just a bunch of words thrown together, but it's still fun to say.
Oh c**p sorry I didn't read the 'keep it pg' part, is there a way to delete these answers?
Bad hair day? My hubby likes to say, "Combed your hair with a pillow?"
Haha, or have you combed your hair? Yes!! What with?? a toffee apple??
Being a peon, look it up its bad.

I use that all the time. If I did it to you, I'm not sorry becuase it's quite a funny insult.

I (a deaf person) was called the r-word by my brother once. Rare insult because it was the only time I’ve ever been called that. But I’m not mad at him at all, he didn’t know what it meant and he never said it again.
I like too use "If she was an candle she would be Baby Bell skin ...no wick or flame in sight"

I out mean-girled the boss mean-girl at a party. I walked up to say hello to the group of people she was holding court with and after a few minutes I said "OMGAAWD GIRL where did you get your hair cut?" She smiled and gave it a little toss, and replied with the name of the salon. I then gave her my best poor-thing-bless-your-heart look and said "Well darlin', don't you worry, it'll grow out!" We southern girls can put you in your place with a smile on our face.
That is class. As a Brit, well versed in our banter and sarcasm, I AM in a position to judge.

You are so clever in your head you're even cleverer than yourself. I mean it came from my child, but the sarcasm was supreme.
I ask folks if they had a big bowl of stupid for breakfast. Sometimes I imply they also went back for second helpings. If you insult my roommate he says "I've been called worse, by better".
Remember over 70 years ago when my mother told the neighbor-(Up your giggy with a lawn mower). God- how can you beat that? You can’t!
While working as a telephone operator for a short period of time, I got a request from a customer who wanted me to place a long distance call (this was a long time ago) to a business in another state and charge the call to the business. Not a collect call, mind you, just charge the call to the business. Of course, this is wrong and probably illegal so I had to refuse the request. The customer was very persistent in his attempt to get me to do this but I continued to reject it. Finally, he gave up but before he did, he said to me "Operator, think of the worst thing you can in your head. Something that totally disgusts you. That's what I'm thinking about you right now." Then he hung up. The best and most amusing insult I ever got.
One time this nerdy guy was mad I didn’t like him and called me a “flirt-gill” I had to look that one up.
i'm of portuguese /ashknazi jewish background. i'm usually even tempered but when you push the right buttons do have a temper. to give context, i was in an argument with my ex about his spending habits and after he made a very expensive long term purchase i lost my temper. after venting my spleen he just commented: wow! that 'portugee' has quite the mouth but at least you are thrifty!
The most memorable one was from an Italian roommate I had in school, about 40 years ago. His English was not good but he was surrounded by swearwords like ‘a*****e’ and ‘f**k off’. So one day, when he was really angry with me, he combined those two and said: “You are an a*s-off”. All I could do was laugh. Poor guy.
For years I wrote columns for our local metro newspaper, so three times a week I'd write my thoughts on this or that issue. Great career. Anyhow, one day a couple of friends were debating some issue and I jumped in and gave my view. One friend said to me, "If I want your opinion, I'll spend 50 cents and buy the newspaper."
because it was closed, i will write here: younger cousins always insult and laughing at me for being shorter than them, so i said back to him (one of them who insults me more frequent): "i'm okay for being short, especially when my intelligence isn't as short as yours so i can laugh at and make better jokes :)" yes i said it with a smile. it was in indonesian so i think it's sounded better. he's so shocked in a few second, then whisper "damn..". i did say sorry and said i was joking so he wont hurt, i just wanna make him stop afterall. after that the insult became rarely come from him so i guess i win :D

Miss piggy and Piglet. I have an upturned kind of nose that now most anyone on the internet tries to recreate with contour. I cringe still when I see a tutorial l.

Some lady matched with me on a dating app, sent me a message that if I were taller and lost some weight, I'd be "kind of OK", then unmatched me. This without me saying a single word.
