What are some of the most creative insults you’ve either received or thrown at others?
I recently spent some time with my niece, who is in primary school, and she was being a little silly. Out of nowhere, she said I looked like “a fat, hairy wombat.”

It’s nice to have a good laugh over it rather than take it personally, right? I’d say your niece has a future in comedy!
