A Protein Wisdom Insult Challenge [Dan Collins]

Neatorama has published a handy list of underused insults.  For example:

2. BESCUMBER (v)

Definition: To spray with poo.

Analysis: Actually bescumber is just one of many words in the English language that basically mean “to spray with poo”. These are: BEDUNG, BERAY, IMMERD, SHARNY, and the good ol’ SHITTEN. In special cases, you can use BEMUTE (specifically means to drop poo on someone from great height), SHARD-BORN (born in dung), and FIMICOLOUS (living and growing on crap).

Alternative: If that is too vulgar, you can use BEVOMIT and BEPISS, which meanings should be obvious to you, as well as BESPAWL (to spit on).

Oh, and if you want to say poo without looking like you’re saying it, you can use ORDURE, DEJECTION, and EXCRETA. To mean something more specific, you can use MECONIUM (first feces of a newborn child), MELAENA or MELENA (the abnormally tarry feces containing blood from gastrointestinal bleeding), LIENTERY (diarrhea with undigested or partially digested food), and STEATORRHEA (fatty stool that’s hard to flush down).

Here are some words along the same line that may one day prove to be useful for you: TURDIFY (turn into turd), COPROPHAGIA (eating of feces [wiki]), and COPROPHILIA (Think 2 Girls 1 Cup [wiki - don't worry, SWF], if you don’t know what this is, I shan’t corrupt you any further).

Let’s end entry number two with these two amazing words COPREMESIS and MISERERE, both of which mean fecal vomiting. Yes, fecal vomiting. It’s a medical emergency caused by the obstruction of the bowel (source).

The intarweb utility of such words is so obvious that I won’t insult your intelligence by elaborating.  I want the PW community to make a commitment to learning and employing some of these fabulous and too-often ignored insults.  Yes, we can!

    I prefer my insults to be less, uh, waste related. My favorite was employed by a politician in the 1880s(?) when he accused his opponent of being “a direct, lineal decendant of the impenitent thief on the Cross”…

    Awhile back I made a small and futile attempt to get the idea of intellectual coprophilia by the left going as a meme. I still think it has a certain validity, they seem to have a special attraction to philosophies that have been well proven to be complete and utter shit.

    Here’s a classic from Shakespeare’s “All’s Well That Ends Well”

    Your virginity, your old virginity is like one of our French wither’d pears: it looks ill, it eats drily.

    I’ve always been partial to the word “microcephalic.” Our friend Zippy is one.

    I’m just surprised that there were that many words for flinging shit on people before the internet was invented. Was it a common recreation in earlier times?

    Maybe it was. While rummaging through this blog (h/t Instapundit) I found a review of this book. It includes a vignette about one girl throwing dung on the dress of another girl out of jealousy. Plus ça change…

    The word reminds me of my four year old daughter’s tendency to substitute “be” where it does not belong. eg “beesquito”
