Lesson 315--a tool




 
One of my favourite insults is the phrase: You're such a tool!  This can mean everything from stupid or foolish, to useless and obnoxious.  It is so useful that I recommend you try it some evening when you're out.

In the examples, I have used the exclamation point (!) but feel free to use the simple period (.) if you don't want to sound very angry.

examples

Don't be such a tool!

You are such a tool!

You'd have more friends if you weren't such a tool!

He's a complete tool!

Charles is the biggest tool in the whole box!

Lesson 313--more insults in English



 
Just in case you didn't have enough insult words in English last week, and because that post was so popular, I decided to give you a few more words to call people when you want to insult their intelligence.

doofus

nimrod

dumbass

dumb bunny.

I think you could use the following structures (please put your choice of words in the blank).

You're such a ______.

Why are you such a ______?

I've never met a bigger ______ than you.

Do your parents know how much of a _______ you are?

Lesson 311--Insulting someone in English


An interesting choice
 
In English there a lots of ways to say someone is not smart or unintelligent.  While I don't want you to insult people, you should know them because they are often used on television and I want you to understand what you are watching.  This list is just a small sample of the words we use.  Please use them carefully.

nit wit

dimwit

half wit

moron

dunce

dolt

numbskull

The light is on, but nobody is home.
