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.”
Give me some good ones

Don’t feel too down, it’s not like this project won’t be the same without you.

A snarky one I heard from a woman to another.
“It’s amazing how you can pull off THAT outfit”
Implying poor taste in fashion. I do think delivery is important here.
I don’t have a lot of petty female friends but I’ve certainly encountered them and they are masters of the craft of two faced insults. Especially involving taste and habits.

My dim brother threw something similar at that me (he always wears whatever plaid is in fashion). I will admit my fashion is loud, but damn if I don’t look good. I cheat a little. I have a tailor who will take my cheap button downs and tailor them for 10 bucks so i always look sharp as fuck.

“I love how you are so confident with your body to eat that”.
No fat-shamming like girl fat-shamming.
I’ve on occasion realized like days later that I was being insulted cause my little monkey brain was just thinking.
"This cake is good. I don’t know what that has to do with my body confidence ".
Honestly I used to joke that negging doesn’t work on me. Not cause I’m so smart I see through it, but that I don’t realize some guy is trying to insult me until like the next day. Or sometimes never.
This one guy at a bar after telling him about my graphic novel collection
Him: “you arent that unique you know?”
Me: “yeah I know, Ive met people with similar interests online. There is a whole subreddit on the locke and key series, very popular”.
Him: states at me blankly as then i proceed to tell him more about the series he was obviously only half assed pretending to be interested in.
His loss. The locke and key series are fabulous.

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 have always respected him the more because I know that he dislikes flattery as much as he deserves it. (Voltaire)

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.”

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.
