Greatest Insult to a D&D PLAYER (OOC)

Among role-players:
Munchkin!

Outside the hobby:
your games. (emphasis on -your- like it's something that stains. Ex: Oh you're playing your games tonight...)
A relative of mine: So... playing toys tonight?

I think the bile phrase for me is being called a munchkin.. on par with powergamer but in some ways its worse. I suspect its cause Munchkin churns up images of rules breakers where powergamer in comparison stay mostly within the rules.

So, that got me thinking. What is the greatest insult you could make to a D&D player (not character, not in character, not in jest, as an actual insult meant to hurt a D&D player's feelings). Some of us have probably been called things. What's the worst?

The worst? Truly? Try this...

"We have a lot more fun when you don't show up."
 


Powergamer and Rules Lawyer are harsh around my gaming circles. I can't count how many players asked to join my game and the first thing they say is "i'm not a rules lawyer or power gamer". And honestly for some reason that always puts a smile to my face to hear they are not.
 




"Nitpicker"

That mostly applies just to me, because I'm always nitpicking other players' mispronunciation or misuse of words, or nitpicking unrealistic bits of the game or setting. :)
