There were plenty of racist insults too, but well leave those right the fuck out of here.
10) Cocksucker.
And there were So.
9) Those that doubt me suck cock by choice!
To me, its the creme de la creme of Deadwoods cocksucker.
Because its one thing to call someone a cocksucker.
8) Mornin, Sir.
Anything the mayor should know?
Name of another tailor.
(1.10 Mister Wu)
Basic, but, honestly?
7) Get a fucking haircut.
Looks like your mother fucked a monkey.
(1.10 Mister Wu)
Swearengen was just dishing out all of the advice this episode.
And, now, you’re able to too!
6) Could you have been born, Richardson?
And not egg-hatched as Ive always assumed?
Did your mother hover over you, snaggle-toothed and doting as you now hover over me?
5) Wash your fuckin mouth.
You got seven kinds of cock breath.
(2.11 The Whores Can Come)
Said by one prostitute to another.
4) Act civilized even if you aint.
That said, its a great broad-sweeping insult that hits people right in their very images of themselves.
And there are plenty of cocksuckers who deserve to hear it.
(1.6 Plague)
Scathing insult, or excellent advice?
It works because its both.
Basically, its like saying Youre ugly.
But I wouldnt have had to tell you youre ugly if you werent also stupid.
2) Does brevity exist in your repertoire, Sir?
(Deadwood: The Movie)
Insulting someone is easy.
you could yell insults from your car window at random passersby.
But insults are pointless if they are without reason.
Insults with purpose are far more effective.
And the more passive-aggressive they are, the better.
1) Mornin.
Best time of day to go fuck yourself.
This one right here is straight-up unfiltered emotion.
And if you start out by responding in kind
Mornin.
that last part comes as a real twist.
And yet a perfect lesson in how much alliteration adds to even base insults.
