I'm reading this Japanese comic set in feudal Japan, and there are these two insults I'm really enjoying. Now these are direct translations, and it cracks me up to think these armor clad samurai warriors are yelling to each other:
1) You yam-eating goat!
2) You are a worthless piece of rice paper!
Now if someone called me a worthless piece of rice paper, we'd have to throw down right then and there. I have many uses for rice paper. Thems fightin words.
