When in doubt, always refer to the Rennaissance. They got truly creative back then. ;] Cyrano d'Bergerac coined some particularly well crafted slurs... Depends on how creative, and how contrived you care to get in dialoge. I like nu-be's examples: wiity is better than vile - unless the character is vile and you're trying to display that. Wry is better than contrived. "That's a stupid idea!" "Yeah? You should talk - you got brain cells that haven't spoken to each other in years, chup." Whatever it is, it should flow... and it should sound natural to the ear as dialogue. The "playing the dozens" scene in Aliens with Vasquez and Hudson trading "Anyone ever mistake you for a man?" quips is a classic. It just sounded like any of a hundred exchanges I heard on the streets growing up - rang true to the ear. "Waste of skin" "Waste of breathing air" "Hell, maggots wouldn't eat your corpse" "I shot a pig once thinking it was you... " disgusted "You're not worth the powder it'd take to cap you." "I've seen better looking stuff at the bottom of a toilet." "I didn't know they made idiots your size... " "You take stupid pills for a living, or what?" "Did your parents have any children that lived?" "I wouldn't wipe my crotch with you, boy." None of em are particularly exotic, but they get the point across... and they can be modified to fit a millieu. ;]

"I am a good person now and it feels... well, pretty much the same as I felt before (except that the headaches have gone away now that I'm not wearing control top pantyhose on my head anymore)"
