Two months?

Two whole months it took you to come up with that? Sigh | :sigh:

When you want to insult people, you have to work on a couple of things: a meme or theme for other insults; or something that will really hurt the victim; and most importantly: timing.

A couple of hours you can get away with - particularly on an international forum where people might be asleep - but two days is too long, two weeks is stupid, and two months means they don't remember the conversation at all, or indeed who you even are...

And trying to insult someone by using "irrelevancy" in the Lounge, where 99% of all posted material is wholly irrelevant anyway? Oh dear...that's never going to work.

So start again, try to be a bit quicker; maybe work in a physical defect related comment; work with existing memes (for Nagy or MM that would be alcohol consumption, for me most relate to supposed bestiality - but try to avoid any racial or sexual slurs, they don't go down well); try to work in a topical cultural or a literary reference.

Give it a go, and with practice you might be able to insult someone properly!
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
