Not all insults are made equally. Although insulting someone is never a nice thing to do, sometimes it is needed. Maybe a person has done something to deserve an insult; maybe someone is just way too easy to insult. Whatever the reason may be, if someone is going to use an insult, it better be a good one. There's no point in using a bad insult; common insults don't affect people anymore. It's time to start getting creative with insults by using rare insults.

Rare insults are specially crafted, super-specific insults that are made to leave a mark. They hone in on the small things about a person, leaving them feeling exposed and hurt, maybe even a little confused. Rare insults are not only diabolical, but they are super entertaining as well. For anyone who needs some rare insult inspiration, Reddit's /r/rareinsults has plenty. This subreddit is home to some of the greatest insults of all time. Here are 27 of them for the next time anyone needs the perfect string of words to hurl at someone else.
