Insulting someone is an inherently mean thing to do to a person, but sometimes it is necessary. Insults can be needed for all kinds of reasons. Maybe someone else threw an insult out first, maybe they're a bad person and deserving of one, or maybe they are just way too easy not to insult. Whatever the reason may be, if someone is going to use an insult, they better make sure it's a good one.

These days, it's hard to come up with an insult that actually offends someone. All of the classic insults, the cliché ones, are so overused, that people need originality in their lives. So what's a person to do? Come up with a rare insult, that's what. Rare insults are brand new, very specific, and very impactful insults that both hurt a person and leave them a little confused. Rare insults make online arguments so much better because of how entertaining they are.

Reddit's /r/rareinsults is a subreddit where people share the best and rarest insults around. These insults are sure to get someone's attention and leave them inspired to come up with something better the next time they need an insult. Here are 25 of them that just worked.
