30 Exceptionally Creative Burns That People Are Still Scorched By

True wordsmiths know that expletive-laden insults can only pack so much of a punch.

“Bitch,” “dumbass” and even “idiot” can get stale, especially if your lifestyle requires having a plethora of disses at your fingertips (looking at you, Fortnite players). Thankfully, Redditors have come up with exceedingly creative alternatives to some of our favorite burns.

For example: Instead of calling someone a liar, you can ask them if “their ass ever gets jealous of the shit that comes out of their mouth.” In lieu of dubbing a mouthy teenager as a naive jerk, you can merely remind them that you have “hair on your ass” older than them.  

Problem solved!

And there’s more where that came from. Reddit’s resident roasters have shared other creative burns they’ve launched or been on the receiving end of, proving there is a way to expertly transform insults into both injury and art.
