I love insults, especially creative ones. And when writing a fantasy story you have so much opportunity to come up with new ones, be it a commonly used phrase in your world or a signature one of a specific character. So what kind of insults have you guys come up with?
Some of mine:
Wank-canvas
Pretty self-explanatory, it's a canvas that's been ranked onto in order to create a piece of obscene art. I came up with this using the tried and true method of putting together any two words so long as one of them is vaguely rude. Other examples include dragon-twat and mediocre shit-sculptor (it's funny because it implies they're not even a good sculptor of shit).
"You're worse than Eldridge Wetnyrse"
I'm undecided at the moment if Eldridge Wetnyrse is a real person in my world or just a fictional character. All I know is that if you need to say that someone he acts as the ultimate standard for badness or incompetence of any kind. For example, one could also say "You're a worse dancer than Eldridge Wetnyrse" or "You're more cowardly than Eldridge Wetnyrse", etc.
Twunt
I didn't come up with this, but I feel that it is a magnificent word. By combining two rude words, you end up with not only a word that embodies their combined meaning, but is also completely innocuous and innocent. I've even started using it in real life, it's so good.
