Words are words. Words are only credible as insults when you acknowledge that you feel victimized by them.
For example:
This chick called me "fatty" because I have a little bit of a belly (that I'm losing, btw). This was in response to me saying she's being overly worried about her friends who'd spent the night over my friend's apartment many times in the past after a night of drinking.
She thought it would be a good retaliation to call me fatty. Like I give a shit. I smiled nicely and told her I can lose weight but there's no cure for being a stupid cunt.
Amazing how her word was meant as an insult, and I didn't allow her to victimize me, but me calling her a stupid cunt practically set her into a rage. And no, I didn't respond to her name-calling with more name-calling because I felt insulted, I did it because I wanted to turn it around back on her, to show her how hurtful it can be.
Hell if I cared, though. That skank.
