I need help in coming up with a sentence or two that is hugely insulting and also comprehensible to someone stupid that doesn't employ curse words. A former old-man neighbor accosted my kid in a convenience store and called her a "mother****ing little bitch." I don't know when I will finally run into him, but I want to be ready. He is a wife-beater, child abuser, and also an animal abuser, an all-around mean guy.

I'm only just now learning to stick up for myself, but when I see him, I want to tell him off. I just have to say something that will sting through his stupid skull. Ideas?
 
My experience with people like that is you can be as mean to them as you like and it won't faze them a lick. Sometimes the best you can do is to just tell the SOB that you're praying for him.

Openly accuse him of all those things, loudly, in public. He's not expecting a disproportionate response. Ruin him.

That's a good point. I don't know that I have it in me, but he would be very surprised. I haven't seen or spoken to him in 20 years, but I never had any conflict with him when he was my neighbor.
 
Try "bless your heart" or "I'll pray for your soul". Neither are likely to change the offender's behavior but those around you will get your drift.

Hmm, you're right; it wouldn't faze him. So I guess the question is whether I'd feel more empowered or more ashamed after telling him off. Sigh.

No one, no matter how sociopathic, walks away from public ruining unfazed. Just be ready in case the bully tries to strike back by upping the proportion as well. Bullies don't generally do that, they slink away, but sometimes they snap.

You might wanna practice a worst case scenario, wherein he attacks you (despite being in public) so that you can deliver your blow without apprehension. Then, confident that you can handle any response, tear into him.

The drift I want anybody in hearing distance to get is that he's an abusive asshole. I cannot even believe that he said what he did to my kid.

But I should pray for him. Sigh.

Good people often suffer that dilemma.

Prayer will not restore your daughter's dignity.

Listen to what Luther and eco have said. Think through the possibilities in terms of the setting where this meeting might take place, who might be there, etc. You will probably want to cast your response appropriately.

Personally, if the things you listed (bold above) are general knowledge - things that won't register to witnesses as false, I would simply throw those facts in his face. Personally, I would follow probably follow it with a string of expletives that would likely make you uncomfortable. The bad words are just special sauce - the facts you listed are the beef.

I'm guessin' you would feel worse, Nota...you're just not that type of person, no matter how hard you try...why waller in the mud with a pig? You'll both be covered with mud then and no one will be able to tell the difference between the 2 of ya'...

They'll be able to tell the difference just fine. He's a wife beating, child abusing, animal abusing scumbag and she's defending her daughter.

From what? Everyone knows he's a pig already...

If those around you hear you going off on him they may well think that you are the one with self control, anger management or aggression problems. I wonder why that lady over there going was off on that old man like that is not likely the reaction that you seek.

"I pity you."
"I'll pray for you."
“Bless your heart.”
"Anyone who ever loved you was wrong."
"Now I know why everybody talks about you behind your back."
"Why are you the way that you are? I hate so much about the things you chose to be."
"You will be utterly forgotten."
"You are a sad, sad man."
"I wonder what ever went wrong in your sad, pathetic life to make you act in such a cruel way"

Somebody should've beaten the snot out of this guy decades ago. He's a bully.

Oh, and I should have mentioned my kid's "crime." She's a chicken farmer with the chickens on some leased property 3+ miles away from mine. Guy's a neighbor. When he was baling his own hay, he decided to bale some of the property owner's and take it for himself. Owner called the Sheriff's Office, the S.O. interviewed the kid, and she said she'd seen him doing it, which she had.

Her daughter's dignity was not tarnished by the asshole. The asshole's dignity was diminished. Mere words, especially the unwarranted accusations of an asshole, serve only as a challenge to us to maintain our composure, our countenance and our faith. It is the actions we take to better ourselves and those around us that bring us dignity.

She's not defending her from his reputation. She's defending her from him.

If the OP hands their daughter the OP of this thread, that should go a long way toward restoring the dignity of the daughter. No need to reciprocate the hate, though.

She can maintain composure just fine, and put scum in his place.

God helps those who help themselves.

She can also be polite and dignified right up until the situation requires kicking the SOB in the nuts.

Those are quite good. :thumbs:

Why create a situation that doesn't need to exist with your suggestion of 'payback'?

I'm flexible. She can let him have it in a dignified manner and in no uncertain terms.
