I’ve been with my partner for almost half a decade now, and one of the things I always have to concede is that as much as the swearing and the insults are wonderful in the UK, they truly do take things to another level in her native Spain. Honestly, we just can’t compete. Whether it’s folding in things like asparagus, cucumber, mothers, holy figures, or just the sheer mind-bogglingly limitless variations on ‘Me cago en [XYZ]’, Spanish leaves English behind in the profanity dust. Twitter users had this subject on its mind the other day when they pondered the most memorable insults that they had ever heard.

When imdb dot com had message boards, someone accused me of having "glued-on, false morals". I still don't get that, but it's stayed with me for 13 years.

When I was in high school, I wore these cute brown shoes and this boy said I looked like Harriet Tubman…I never wore them again.

Fast forward 10+ years to a few months ago I bought a pair of black flats and my mama said “there she go with those slave shoes again”🥲🥲

My mother bought me some new shoes (The USA Olympic brand in the 80s). She made me wear them to school one day. A student in one of my classes noticed them and stood up and hummed the National Anthem to my shoes. pic.twitter.com/lqXzVu5PqI

I showed up to class in middle school and this boy I liked asked me if I had gotten my hair cut. I was so flattered that he noticed and told him yes, with a huge smile on my face. Then he said, “With WHAT?”
