For a few days now I've been thinking of the stupid things kids always said to each other when I was in elementary school. I've compiled a list of favorite phrases that I've either said, or had said to me by children:
•You're a DIAPER-BABY! (The End All, Be All of playground insults. This one's at the top of the list for a reason.)
•Dummy-head! (self explanatory)
•Butt-face! (Also popular: Butt-Head. It's a subtle, but significant difference)
•I'm rubber, and you're glue! Whatever you say, bounces off of me and STICKS ON YOU!
•Stupid-head! (a more extreme version of the classic "Dummy Head")
•You BABY! (This one's similar to Diaper-Baby, but with an important difference. Can you guess what it is?)
•Poop-Pants! (Also, "Pee-Pants")
•Wee-Todd! (Nobody knew what that meant until at least 5th grade, though.)
•You're a LOSER! (That was popular in middle school.)
•Jerk-Wad! (I always hated this one, because I suspected from an early age that it meant something disgusting. Not sure if any other kids ever felt that way.)
•Fart-Breath! (Can't wait to hear THAT come out of my son's mouth.)
•Pizza-Face! (Another popular middle school taunt. Always confused me though, because Pizza in any other context is usually a positive thing.)
•Booger-Brain (This is my husband's contribution to the list. Hmm...)
Anybody else out there have a favorite school-days insult?
Completely unrelated: My son isn't tacky, he's fashion forward! Sometimes Stripes and Plaids DO look good!
