Try "Nicker" - It's basicaly implying that the person is a thief, and if you say it outloud... Well, let's just say it would be a nice "Getting Crap Pass The Radar" Moment.

Harpy, harridan, shrew, (those are usually limited to women, tho)
fool, oaf, imbecile, nimrod, ninny, nincompoop, dullard, knave, clown
Neanderthal, beast, brute, cad, bounder, simpleton
Some more modern ones:
mouth-breather, booger eater, wimp, coward, white trash, short-bus rider, SpED, dunce, drip, flake
I could go on.

simple, its peasant. an insult on so many levels, to hurt someone most is not when you are yelling at them out of anger, but rather out of disgust, the true language of hate. You really want to hit a person, insult there worth, there status, we all have that doubt of our own self worth, pushing that button can have rippling effects.

If you're feeling snooty, go with "simian" or "plebian."
Other ones to consider are "Philistine," "barbarian," "simpleton," and "Judas."

I dunno about that. That really just makes you sound full of yourself, imo. The only people who use 'peasant' would be non-peasants, ie: nobility and royalty. In the United States, those carry a relatively negative connotation (our Constitution even bans royalty and nobility).sgwee said:
I don't think anyone would start doubting their self worth because someone said their lineage was not of noble blood.
peasant was just the word that came to mind because it was something that I was called in a shouting match with my stepfather. But I point it out because it was that word that hurt me worse than any other, and that was my reasoning why. you can equate royalty and nobility with any form of authority really. and it hurt worst, even though it wasn't said with anger or even loud even, but with the emotion of real disgust and disappointment from someone I respected. and thats what this really comes down to, insults hurt more from the direction its coming from, and the situation its around, then from the actual words being used.Scout Tactical said:
and your entitled to your opinion, but I just wanted you to know that in my mind I wasn't even thinking of royalty or the medieval picture it paints. you can easily change peasant out for another word with the same effect... The real focus of my post was not really the word I used so much, but the thought around it.
Go one up (or down, in this case) and say the Head Count (yes, that was there actual name). Despite being roman citizens, they had little rights, money, recognised power and wre basically ignored until grain shortages, whereupon they rioted.bahumat42 said:
