Dern WordWind, must you be so literal? What Slithy Slove was saying was...
Insults should never be original. They must be clearly understood by the in-group, otherwise they fall flat in their effect.
I think.

if brains were gasoline you wouldn't have sufficient to drive once around a cheerio on a moped.

Hey...you two sharing the same brain today? I know men are half wits, but you two together don't make a whole wit! [ducking for cover in the spirit of the thread-e]

You dismal heap of manky dog urine.
You uncultivated cake of noxious dirty underwear.
You crotchety descendant of mealy lizard bums.
You heavy-duty flob of petrified rubbish.

You insulting sliver of sloppy athlete's foot scrapings.
You blundering crate of dusky toe jam.

The one highlighted in bold is my favorite. I mean, what could someone possibly say back to you if you say that to them?They might even say "thank you" for it!
I usually use shithead or a pismire. Sometimes I'll say coprocephalic imbecile. My kids call each other coprolites.
In recent years I've begun to ponder the question Mr Sammler asked, "Who made shit a sacrament?"
Frau Edie told us one of the worst things you could call someone in German was "eine sau," a sow. Apparently it has some sexual connotations.
During cultural revolution in PRC a big insult was son of a dog. My wife told me that one way to insult another person was to tell him you were his grandfather. Both of these seem pretty mild and I wonder if she is sheltering me from the really juicy stuff.

I dunno, i have had sexist managers, younger than me, call me "Young Lady" (in a certain tone of voice..) and let me tell you , it was very clear they were being insulted.
in past years, Blacks, in this country, no matter what there age, where insultingly called "Boy".
if i claim to be your grandfather, i am claiming more prestige, and claiming i should be ranked higher.. (and if i am a street sweeper, or other lowly person,or just younger than you) that could be insulting.
It's no insult to call a char woman "a lady", but in the movie, Mrs. Brown, the court was shocked when Mr. Brown called the queen "Woman!"
words are used to define status, and if i verbal lower your status, i have insulted you!
call a doctor by his first name (HI Dr Bill!) you are informal. but call a doctor Dr. Quack! and you are insulting!
insults vary depending on context. You can be as wise an an owl, or bird brain.. as strong as an ox, or as dumb as one! Except in Animal Farm, i can't think of anywhere, where pigs came out on top!--
