Barrackowhama

Created by: Nosila

Pronunciation: bar rak o wha ma

Sentence: Julie was a regular Barrackowhama. Her tongue was like a rapier, her wit was sardonic and her retorts were as snide as they were deadly quick. No one ever won a verbal victory over her. Her favourite soda was Spite, her favourite cocktail was a Stinger and she enjoyed holidaying in the Vitriolic Islands. When others were cutting back, she was affronting and her favourite actor was William Hurt. Her abuse knew no boundaries and no one was exempt from her derision. She loved being scurrilious and enjoyed driving her new car, a black Invective. She could vituberate better than any Marine drill sargent and always played offense when she played high school football. Yes, Julie could revile for hours and never tire of the insults she threw around contumely like seeds of grain to the wind. Luckily her new job would allow her to use her skills and be paid well for it. She starts next week with the UN Diplomatic Corps!

Etymology: barrack (laugh at with contempt and derision) & wham (hit hard) & of course Barack Obama (for rhyming fun)

Sentence: The customeffacer ridiculed the client for being to cheap to buy a brand-name power tool with a 5-year warranty.

That gentleman bears a striking resemblance to Bruce McCulloch.

I hope Mr. McCulloch isn't insulted... ~ James

I've often noticed that the verbotoons have striking similarities to famous people. I wonder if the artist uses reference photos...

As Kurt Vonnegut said of his novels, this artwork is fiction and "All persons living or dead are purely coincidental, and should not be construed." Except of course, for the drawing of Vonnegut himself, which is meant to be who it appears to be. ~ James

Everybody's coincidental? All 12 billion of us? I like the sound of that. And I definitely agree that you shouldn't construe anybody. It's just not nice, even if they are already dead.

CONGRATS! INSULTANT is simple yet effective. I wish i could learn not to use a large word when a diminutive one will do. Economy is everything.
