I love a good war of words. There should be a game show based on how everyone cuts the deepest and with style.

Can you imagine winning a million dollars for telling someone off?

I could die satisified.

The perfect way to use language in an insult has become an art form.

Especially when people who deserve a good tongue lashing can't tell they're being rightfully taken to task.

Redditorda-noob-manwanted to hear all the best verbal slings we love throwing. They asked:

"What is your signature insult?"

I've deserved several good insults thrown at me. I can be a bit a tantrum starter. And then I write down what I'm hit with and use on others.

Claudia Conway—the daughter of Trump administration presidential counselor Kellyanne Conway and attorney George Conway—took far-right conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer to task for trying to distract from former President Donald Trump's abysmal debate performance against Vice President Kamala Harris last week.

Loomer, who has recently denied rumors of a romantic affair with Trump after being photographed by his side at numerous events including last week's presidential debate and two 9/11 memorials despite her prior claims that the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 were an "inside job," was swiftly called out by Conway, who suggested she's attracting attention to take eyes off Trump.

Trump Slammed After Claiming That Harris Is 'Killing Black And Hispanic Heritage' In Bonkers Post

Former President Donald Trump was called out after claiming that Vice President Kamala Harris is somehow "KILLING BLACK AND HISPANIC HERITAGE" by allowing "illegal migrants" into the country to take their jobs.

Trump's remarks—absurd considering his "zero tolerance family separation policy" tore migrant families, the majority of them Hispanic, apart—come as he and Harris continue to court Hispanic voters, a key voting bloc that has leaned more conservative in recent years. They also repeat his prior remarks that immigrants are taking "Black jobs," a line that has been widely denounced as racist.

People Debate Whether You Should Let Pets Sleep In Your Bed Or Not

I've always owned cats, so "letting" them do something is kind of a foreign concept. Cats tend to do whatever they want.
