Talk:Insult

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I wonder if there is an advantage to having both Insult and Terms of disparagement or if they should be merged? Ortolan88

I believe the latter is a legal term and so should be seperate from common usage. Vera Cruz


It seems to me that insults can be far more complex than mere "fighting words". In fact, whole computer games have been made about the art of insulting ..--Eloquence

The link to "Action" (philosophy)" is wrong. "Action" is a legal term here, not found on the disambiguation page. Andres 06:19, 13 Oct 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Comeback should be un-RDRed

Comeback has more meanings than this one, and it is being linked to for ones other than this one. I linked to it in the sense of, usually in sport, a return to the professional circuit. It's also being linked to from Lars Frölander (swimmer) and Me Against the Music (a song) for the same sense. pfctdayelise 00:08, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "dumbass" Language

I got redirected here from "dumbass" language (Du). I want to learn more about this fascinating language, but don't see any content on it here. Anyone?? MotherFunctor 23:41, 25 May 2006 (UTC).

Wow, that is exactly what I just typed in to get here. We must add a full discourse exploring the nuances of "dumbass" forthwith.--God Ω War 06:33, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Verbal Insults - list not valuable extension of given example

I just removed a couple of lines of expletives from "Verbal Insults". Someone had thought it amusing to extend the single relevant example into an irrelevant list. JohnHarris 08:43, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
