Not all insults are made equally. It's never nice to insult someone; everyone knows that. Sometimes, though, depending on the person, an insult is needed. Insults are meant to hit someone where it hurts, making them think about their life and actions. Normal, boring insults don't do this anymore, though. When an insult is overused, it loses its power; no one is actually offended when they're called an idiot anymore. That's where rare insults come in handy.

Rare insults are specially-crafted, overly-specific insults that are made to target the small things about a person. They are truly sinister. No one wants to be on the receiving end of a rare insult, but everyone wants to be the one delivering one. So for the next time someone needs an insult to hurt, Reddit's /r/rareinsults has plenty. Here are 28 rare insults dished out to unsuspecting people, resulting in some hilarious moments.
