Although insulting someone is never a nice thing to do, sometimes an insult is needed for some reason. Maybe someone did something to deserve the insult, or maybe someone just ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time to catch an insult. Whatever the reason may be, one thing that is certain is that an insult should be good. The classic insults just don't hit properly anymore. No one is being insulted by an insult that's been used millions of times. That's where rare insults come in.

Rare insults are a collection of oddly specific, cleverly curated, and diabolical insults that do their job of leaving a person insulted.

It's a great place to go to find some inspiration for the next time an insult is necessary. Here are 25 of them that hit differently.
