Sure, we could spend the rest of our days calling each other "douchenozzle" if we wanted to, but that word peaked in 2012, and it's been played out to the point that it means almost nothing. What really strikes fear into someone's soul is when you call them "an absolute nothing, a void so bereft of anything meaningful or intriguing that it sucks in the value of people around it. A black hole that lets just enough light escape to show everyone that it is also ugly."
Of course, that takes a little bit of time to say, and we're not gonna really have the forethought to scream that at someone in traffic. But it's something.
People on the internet might not be very good at common human decency or math, but one thing they excel at is taking someone down a peg. As is the way of these rare insults that cut straight to the bone.
