When it comes to insulting someone, the insult needs to be effective. There is no point in insulting someone if the person isn't even going to be insulted. Sure, insulting someone is never a nice thing to do, but sometimes it's needed. Sometimes, a person is so terrible that they deserve the insult; sometimes, people are just too easy to insult that it's warranted. Whatever the reason may be, just make sure the insult isn't a common, overused insult. The way to go is with a rare insult. Rare insults are insults that have never been heard before. They are oddly specific and hone in on the small things about a person. They make some deep cuts, leaving a person both insulted and confused. They are also hilarious.
