From The Royal Tenenbaums:
“Why did you specifically have to point out I’m not a genius?”
“I just don’t use that word very lightly.”

I must have used up all my luck before meeting you
I have always respected him the more because I know that he dislikes flattery as much as he deserves it. (Voltaire)
What in interesting use of free will
I would agree with you, but then we’d both be wrong.
Je viens d’en entendre quelques unes très bonnes : “Tu n’es pas un père mais un courant d’air.” À une personne qui noie le poisson, “tu prend ton élan pour mentir.”
Sorry dude my french is not that good.
先生,呢個係香港伺服器。 唔該講廣東話。
Lmao
我係廣州出世嘅美籍華人 (I’m a Chinese American Born in Guangzhou)
我未出世就識廣東話啦 (I knew Cantonese before I was even born)
你係乜水來啊?(Who the fuck do you think you are?)
Wait, is 先生 used as “sir” in Cantonese?
here’s the translation but I don’t think they work that well in English:
I just heard some really good ones: “You’re not a father, you’re just a gust of wind.” To someone who’s beating around the bush, “you’re taking a running start to lie.”
No, unfortunatly they are not. That’s why I wrote them in french.

I’m looking for insults so intelligent you don’t realise you’ve been roasted until 3 thoughts later.
Your precocious insipd query’s so strongly influential it triggers my ilithiophobia and a solicitude for philanthropic mischance and exponential precarity of inviolability, and thus my small voice has me incapable of answering.
… May take longer than 3 months [Edit, oh, dyslexic misread, it’s “thoughts”, not “months”. I aimed too high.]. May never realise.
PS, I admire your verbal intelligence if you effortlessly get the meaning of that on first read. Quite the vocabulary you have there. Did you swallow a thesaurus when you were 3 years old?
I’ve never met anyone else so unshakeable in their convictions.
You’re so vain, I bet you think this meme is about you.
I can’t imagine a better day than one spent after your company.
