When did it become in vogue to always include some obscure reference in your insult?
I think it all started when Dennis Miller got on Monday night Football and people started copying him to try and sound cool like he does.
Personally, I think he's as lame as a bovine septagenarian using a pitchfork on his thumb drive

Originally posted by huckleberryhoundHe used to do the news on SNL. He left there and his career crashed. He then for some reason I'll never understand got hired to do Monday Night Football, his carrer crashed again. He tried to do an HBO comedy show and his career crashed again. I hope he has good career insurance

Originally posted by uzlessSo is "thumb drive" the obscure reference here, or is it "bovine septagenarian"?

People have been insulting other people over here in Britain long before we inventede the TV
Originally posted by huckleberryhoundIts not the insult hbh, it is the manner of insulting... using an obscure reference as the carrier (so to speak) of the insult... Sort of a "private joke" for those who get the reference....

Originally posted by KnightWulfeYeah, thats what i said. Unless the poster is specifically talking about the US, then i'd have to reply in the negative, because over here we've never heard of this bloke.

Using Dennis Miller in an insult to you would be using an obscure reference.
"You know, you're like some quasi Dennis Miller who probably closes his eyes and thinks of England while he's bangin a thesaurus"
