I do tend to call people 'children' when they're being idiots, as in 'Now now, children.'
Heathen is a fun one to use, as is ignoramus.

The use of profanity doesn't necessarily negate originality. It's just as much a vocal tool as anything else...
Agreed, but it seems less challenging. It's pretty easy to drive 100 miles in your car; less so to hoof it, in two days, carrying a ruck [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Four_Days_Marches_Nijmegen]. By the same token therefore I have more respect for someone who can insult- or entertain- without choosing the easy route of profanity.

Also, you can say that they're Republican and the angry debate that follows will have someone else call them a naughty word for you!

I'm a literature nerd, so I've been known to throw Shakespeare insults at people.

"Away, slight man!"

And one of my favourite lines comes from Auntie Em in The Wizard Of Oz: "Elmyra Gulch! For years I've been dying to tell you what I really think of you. And now, well...As a Christian woman I can't say it!"

I believe the great John Cleese said "Your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries."
