Dipshit. It's my favorite insult. If you call a man an asshole or fucker, many take it as a sign of strength or say, 'i just tell it like it is." Dipshit is stupid and juvenile and naive and just perfectly describes so many people.

Oh, that's why I like "dipshit" so much. Now I understand myself better, thanks!
