Funny Insult - Taken Well by bem75 on 06 Jul, 2009 13:28

I had a big party at my house for 4th of July and we were swimming, cooking, blowing stuff up, and drinking a lot of beer. About once an hour, someone would say something about my bald head. As a note, everyone loves it and I rarely get anything but very nice compliments. Every comment this weekend was very positive.
One commen, though, was a bit of a backhanded compliment. So, one of the party guests says to me, "I really like your bald head. Bald heads don't really look good with skinny bodies. So, it's a good thing that you're kinda fat."
All I could do was laugh. I was thinking, "hey, thanks for the compliment on the head, but what's up with flat out calling me fat?"
No need to say anything about the comment. I know that I'm overweight and I often talk openly about it. So, I was not insulted. A few people looked at me, like they were waiting for a reaction, but I just laughed it off.
I thought that it was funny enough to post on here. Hope that you all had a great 4th of July weekend. Mine was a blast! -

That's straight up rude. From your avatar, you don't even look fat. And I know skinny guys that look awesome with a bald head. Your "friend" is socially stupid.

Nothing ticks off a would-be insulter more than refusing to be insulted.
My "Opinionated Walrus" handle has just such an origin. On another forum I had the gall to have a different opinion than another poster. He took great umbrage to this and called me an "opinionated walrus" meaning for it to be a slur against my girth and facial fur.
It must peeve him to no end that I thought it was hilarious and now use it as my handle on that forum (and elsewhere).
Oh yeah, your "friend" was being a tool. -

Hey thanks, GA!
But according to the "charts" I'm morbidly obese and need to lose 60 pounds. Sha! But that's another topic entirely... -

Like you, I went to a neighbor's cook out for the 4th. His soon to be brother-in-law was a real jerk. He called me Baldie all day, but thanks to you guys, I was equipped with come-backs each time. I never gave him the satisfaction of knowing how much he pi$$ed me off.

Yeah, you really don't look fat to me. People are idiots anyway. Most of them are so insecure they just hate when they see a confident guy, so they have to throw in a couple of dumbass remarks.

You should have called him "Dickie" all day and when he asked why you were calling him that you could have said, "Well you're calling me Baldie because I have a bald head so I'm calling you Dickie because you're a Dickhead".
