Top 5 ...On screen insults.

 I'm now the editor of the film section of Roar! KCL's student newspaper, this was my first piece in the freshers issue...

So I know freshers week is all about making friends and having a smile constantly plastered to your face, but trust me, some of those friendly faces you bonded with over £3 bottles of wine won’t be quite the type of people you envisaged hanging out with. Especially three months down the line when the bin needs emptying. Follow the lead of these silver-screen insulters and you’ll be casting off those hangers-on in no time.

*Disclaimer- Roar bears no responsibility should you actually choose to use these insults, therefore increasing your chances of spending the next 9 months friendless, watching re-runs of Jeremy Kyle and wondering if the halls regulations allow you to own a cat (or five).

5- About a boy (2002)- ‘you squitty little, shitty little, snot-nosed bastard’

 Ok I might be biased here, since this insult is basically a lit students dream. There’s alliteration, there’s rhyme, there’s even repetition just to make sure the message hits home. It’s pretty much three insults in one fell swoop- use it on the stuck up boy that starts ranting about the importance of the British Empire after five beers. The rest of us are just trying to dance bro.

4-Heathers (1988)- ‘ Well fuck me gently with a chainsaw. Do I look like Mother Theresa?’

Having spent around half of my adolescent life praying for the perfect opportunity to arise in which any one of the razor sharp barbs in this film could be employed, I couldn’t resist throwing this gem in. Use it when you get sick of your flat mate asking to ‘borrow’ your milk. There’s nothing worse than dry Shreddies Godamnit!

3-Anchorman (2004)- ‘You’re a smelly pirate hooker’

Possibly the most quotable movie of the past decade, Ron Burgundy and his posse provide a multitude of jibes to choose from. This one is my personal favourite, what could be worse than smelling bad and prostituting yourself to pirates? Ouch.

2-Con Air (1997) – ‘For me, you're somewhere between a cockroach and that white stuff that accumulates at the corner of your mouth when you're really thirsty.’

If insults came in packaging this one would have something like ‘Caution, handle with care’ in bold red lettering on the front. Seriously mean, save this for when you are truly, insensibly angered. It’s probably safe to assume that those on the receiving end won’t speak to you again. Ever.

1-Gone with the Wind (1939)- ‘Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn.’

 Because what better way exists to express your utterly uncompromising inability to give a crap? When all else fails, use this tried and tested classic.
