    I like “mouth breather” from Stranger Things it has the right sound and pacing to make a good insult but doubles back as a wtf thinker moment. In an emo moment where the person wants to auto respond to everything in argument, it is funny to manipulatively force them to deny it, then call them out on how stupid they are for saying they do not breathe.

      FYI “mouth breather” predates the setting of Stranger Things by decades. It’s also not about manipulatively forcing them to deny it: https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/508300/mouth-breathing-as-slang-for-stupidity

      … then call them out on how stupid they are for saying they do not breathe.

      Either you’re a mouth breather yourself or you’re a Fallout ghoul or something.

      Also the amount of times I heard people called mouth breathers when I was in the Corps is off the charts.

        Sounds like a case of the crayon-eater calling the mouth-breather stupid…

                Is that supposed to be the strange insult?
