[QUOTE="fba827, post: 5269798, member: 807"] generic insults are hard since what insults one person/creature might not insult another. it's easier to have insults based on the specific person, or at least their culture. (i.e. telling a dwarf that his beard lacks substance or that he fights like an elf, etc). But to keep it to the realm of generic, i guess stuff like "you fight like a coward" "your face is stupid" "i got your nose" "idiot" "fatso" / "skinny" "fey" "Even my mother could have out manuevered that hit" "It's obvious you are outmatched" "Egads, all this time I thought you were a woman" "Does your overlord know how much you suck?" "you lack the grace of a true swordsman" "your shoes are SO last season" "with aim like that i would swear you were a cyclops" "your hide cannot withstand my blade but at least it will make a fine rug" ... and so on... just got to know what would be a sensitive topic for that person or culture and pick at that.. it can be a give at intelligence, fighting skill, quality of their stony hide, fashion sense, etc. or you could just go for silly random stuff that would throw them off guard as much as an insult would (see "I got your nose" suggestion above which would just as ammusing coming from a gnome bard ;) ).
