Santee couldn't agree more. 😅

[@Killjoy888]

Can you.do one on religion or horse breaking

My favorite insult is, "If he got any dumber, we'd have to water him twice a week"

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

LOL!

[@nazarasaid8645]

Where did you hear that

[@BJBlaskovichGaming]

“I have got a smile on my face today.” “Well that’s good.” “Then the sight of you wiped it right off!” -Arthur Morgan, Antagonizer, 1899.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

lol!!! 🤠

[@skipwilliams7288]

@@stuglenn1112 Yeah, that part made no sense. Maybe he was just trying to get their goat.

[@thecowboy9698]

I actually have used the term "Greenhorn" from time-to-time, not to insult, but rather just as a way acknowledging that the person in question is young and inexperienced, and thus simply needs time to learn and grow, and once he does, he'll be able to handle himself better.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

It's all in the presentation, right?

[@steadynumber1]

As used by the Old Timer in Grizzly Addams.

[@elultimo102]

Well said !

[@jeff9104]

' Yosemite Sam' could have used a few of those, great stuff Santee !

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Definitely!

[@skydiverclassc2031]

On some of those cartoons the closed captioning actually works, so you can memorize the insults.

[@julienielsen3746]

When I was a little child I came into the kitchen once and called mom a mangy varmint. I must have been watching Yosemite Sam on TV. I don't remember doing it. My parents told me. They told me I said, "Hi mom, you mangy varmint."

[@davidam9454]

He did. Those are the ones you can't quite make out

[@robertthomas5906]

"You old horney toad!" "Ize hate rabbits!"

[@victorwaddell6530]

Thanks again Santee & Co. One of my favorite old time insults is to call someone a poltroon , meaning a coward so low as to hide behind a woman's skirts .

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

[@SmallCaliberArmsReview]

I've used a couple of these terms from time to time! Now you'll have to do one on compliments, my favorite is pulchritudinous! Great video Santee!

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Great suggestion! That's my favorite, too, because it sounds awful. "You are showing great pulchretude today, dear.." -SMACK!

[@Squib1911]

@@ArizonaGhostriders I agree Santee, great suggestion S.C.A.R. I bet some compliments in the 19th Century might sound a bit odd to us today.

[@tomservo5347]

'Ceiling experts'. A humorous term applied to ladies of the night for the ahem, position they were in quite often. I'm not sure if it's an old Virginia term (where my great-grandad came from after the Civil War to Missouri) but my grandpa always called our feed cattle 'mulletheads', referring to their less than stellar intelligence.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Good ones!

Christmas in July got started with wholesalers selling Christmas merchandise to retailers during the month of July. This resulted in retailers selling off existing merchandise to make room for the new stuff. Thus the term Christmas in July.

When I was growing up I was told that the use of 'vulgar' language was not clever. Turns out that the more such words you know the cleverer you are. When I mentioned this to my partner she said that a I'm borderline genius. I found the Mark Twain duel challenge interesting. I am reading about duelling at the moment and I found that duels by newspaper editors as well as by politicians in the US were not uncommon. You would think educate people who relied on words would find a way of dealing with these things without the need to resorting to killing each other.

Forty one years ago I was stationed out West. While traveling around in the desert I came across a dead body. Turned out to be a local indigent. Went into Gallup and alerted the police, took them back out to the sight. Keep in mind I did not know this Man nor the circumstances of his demise. Just a wayfarer. Local Cops' look the scene over, finally turn to me and ask "What do you think happened here?". I stared at the remains, looked at them and said: "Best guess is he died." I had no problems with them after that.

I've heard Old Coot and Whipersnapper since I was a kid. I live in the south and most the middle-aged/elderly used it and to this day, I use those terms to. Course, I only use "Old Coot" when I'm joking with an "older than me person". If I do use it to an actual elderly, it's to one whom I'm close to who can take a joke and we bother laugh. But yes, still use Whipersnapper often.

There was this young Indian woman, as in from India, who worked for my company. Real hard worker, always ahead of the curve. I only spoke to her on the phone and when she finally met me, she was shocked at old I was. Jokingly I called her a 'Young Whippersnapper". Well, she'd never heard the phrase and looked it up. It's from the 17th century, meaning a young person who was ambitious but impertinent and worse, lazy. I hurt her feelings. Moral of the story, know what your insults mean. You probably won't throw them at people you like if you are only joking.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

That's correct!
