Alliterative Insults

A few days ago, the Word of the Day (the sticky feed in the right-hand column) was "pussillanimous".

From Dictionary.com:

pusillanimous \pyoo-suh-LAN-uh-muhs\, adjective:Lacking in courage and resolution; contemptibly fearful; cowardly.

It's one of my favorite words and is really good to throw back at those who like to call me retarded.

I don't stop there, though. With my fondness for alliteration, I like to team it up with a couple other insulting pejoratives.

"I might be retarded, but you're a pussillanimous, puerile pissant."

It works better than "Yo momma!"
