@@Chimmaney Saying someone you little rat does never hur. It is like. Yes I did beat you in this sneaky ass way with this funny strategy which hurt your ego so what and your teammates always say it in joking way.. That is how every person who plays games like rats feel like.
The thing I learned from this video, is that everyone has different ways of sleeping. My girl sleeps on her side, I sleep on my back, and the world sleeps on Chimmaney.
To me, I feel like snake is more of a descriptive word than an insult -- one that just so happens to be a bit insulting because it describes something negative. I don't really think it's any better an insult than "traitor" or "untrustworthy", whereas things like rat, toad, and cow are way more emotionally charged.
I would argue that Snake should be higher, considering it is mostly used as a sort of "expository" term, to bring light to what is considered a traitor. That alone should rank it at least A. Also, Dodo would probably be F, alongside the other leech alternative, because most people just don't have much of an idea of what a Dodo really was, so it would just sort of come out of the blue. Also, hey long time no see man
Ehhh, my association with “snake” as an insult is a terrible, incompetent person calling their boss who rightly fired them a snake Snakes use it is my point, therefore weak sauce
I think "vulture" is very effective as an insult in the situations where it applies but the lack of versatility really hurts its utility when "pig" has an enormous amount of applicable situations and is still very effective. Like "pig" doesn't even have to be spiteful either, and it has a lot of utility as a spiteful insult, but it can also be used in an endearing way like "dodo" and work like that as well. Incredible insult, really.
@@ChimmaneyI think for me it mostly leans less on the animal you choose, but more the adjective you combine it with. Like if you call someone a "ignorant roach"
@@ejosjek52.87 I was actually thinkin about that when making this video, and if something like "old bat" should be included. To use a positive example too, there's "cool cat". In the end I decided not to include those, because I feel like the adjective is doing ALL of the work there. "Cool cat" just means cool. If you said "Cool cucumber" it would mean the same thing, and if you said "tall cat" it wouldn't mean anything at all. Same kind goes for "old bat". The first part does all of the heavy lifting. Since there are so many of those (possibly infinite!) and the animal name itself isn't doing any of the complimenting/insulting, I decided not to put em on this list. This list is just for animal names that stand on their own. "You cow" is an insult, "you cockroach" is an insult, "you mouse" is not. Still very interesting how many animals are used in common insults, when you let adjectives get in the mix too! And I probably missed a coupla adjectiveless animal name insults. "Sheep" might count, since it means you're someone who can't think for yourself. B-Tier insult at best though.
huh? really? i dont think leech is particularly offensive, on the other hand pig, dog (bitch), and Neanderthal (ape) are really potent insult. worm, cockroach and rat also should be up there.

I'm a strong believer that any word said with enough vitriol can be an insult. If someone called me a kitten with genuine malice, I'd be spooked
True enough, but the word "kitten" is doing ZERO legwork there. Q Tier insult.
@@Chimmaney Call a female a Cow and you will get punched. Saying Cow to a female being is a bit stronger insult of calling her fat.

@@SovietGirlReal This is among my favourite comments I have ever received. Mood skyrocketed for the week. Thank you very kindly.
@@Chimmaney Don't thank me dood, you deserve more attention. godsspeed.
Snake deserves to be much higher. I feel like it’s one of the number one animal based insults, next to pig.

People here in Ireland used to say you're a snake now its evolved to you're a "pure reptile"
That's actually kind of cold. I like that.
All of these comments trying to make corrections, completely failing to realize this is entirely subjective
The discussion is fun though, nothin wrong with people wanting to throw in their own thoughts.
Loved this one. Thought provoking. I agree that snake and vulture should be upgraded to A.

In a world where leech insecurities did not exist, pig would lead the pack.
I think calling people "cricket" or "squirrel" works pretty good for me
As an INSULT?? Not an affectionate nickname, you call someone a squirrel to try to hurt their feelings? That's fantastic. I hope it works every time.
