It Pays to Improve your Insult Power
This is so good. A complete listing of every bizarre insult used in the Tintin books. I spent a happy few minutes reliving my childhood when I used to pester my parents for the meaning of words like "anacolouthon", "pithecanthropus", "poltroon", "abecedarian", "dipsomaniac", "ectoplasmic byproduct" and "troglodyte".
I think I should try to use one a day.

Now someone just needs to re-create the list and link from each word to its definition at dictionary.com...
It would be immense! There must be over 200 insults on there! It would swamp the site!
And surely everyone knows what they mean anyway?
Maybe I'll just post one a day on apieceofus...
