Re: cunning insults
I really am underwhelmed!
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

I had just made a comment that wasn't quite as brilliant as usual when a friend said to my boyfriend "I take it you are going out with her for her looks".

Re: cunning insults
A really nice lady on the management committee of the organization I used to work for once said to me,
"It's not rich people who are clever with money. It's poor people who are clever with money."
A few days later she delegated the book-keeping to me.
I'm sure it wasn't really a cunning insult, more of an accidental one.

Re: cunning insults
We used to have a lecturer who started sentences with
"As every schoolgirl knows,..."
Usually just at the point of introducing some statement we had to take on total faith. However, I find it makes quite a useful insult when used just after having to answer some banal question in a meeting.

In this recent programme all the scientist super genius type people were regressing to their childhoods and one said to the sherrif...
now I know what you feel like all the time..

Churchill once said to somebody ( can't remember who)
" He is a very modest man with much to be modest about"
I thought that was a nice subtle one and I must admit to having used it myself.

Can't remember where I heard them but must have heard them somewhere, possibly some blackadder -
I can't believe that out of 100,000 sperm, you were the quickest.
What's on your mind? If you'll forgive the overstatement.
A sharp tongue does not mean you have a keen mind

Re: cunning insults
When I was little and slept over at my nans house she would tuck me in and say,
'well goodnight and good riddance'
and give me a kiss.
I thought it was a term of endearment for years

After I had moved a partition wall over to make myself a small room to put my pottery kiln in, my husband said to me "Well, you always could make something out of nothing" At the time I felt quite chuffed, but on reflection, I'm not so sure now! ( Ex husband now)

Re: cunning insults
I could give you reams of unwitting backhanders from my middle child, she still does it today but here's one of my favourites;
''Oh Mum, she's ever so popular, all the men were fornicating over her''
...penny dropped....'I think you might mean fawning love'
