It’s been two years since I posted the last batch of greatest hits from the random insult generator that I wrote back in college, but the insult elves haven’t been idle!

With advances in speech synthesis and cell phones, I’ve now got insults being read aloud to me on OSX and Android, as I highlighted in this video.

On top of that, if you find this stuff amusing, you can now follow the @o_insult feed on Twitter to receive slams daily. Check it out, and hit the Follow button to get your daily fix and help spread the word!

Finally, I’ve got two years’ worth of greatest hits to share with you. But before I do… here’s one final reminder that if you like these, you can find all my insult postings from previous years here.

And without further ado, here’s our 2011-2012 vintage. Enjoy them, or may your father smell of Homer Simpson’s blister…

I’ve posted before about the random insult generator that I wrote back in college. If you don’t remember, you can read the backstory here, here, and here.

After starting with only a couple dozen possible sentence fragments, it now relies on a database of 43,000 data items from 28 different parts of speech.

Having recently gotten bored and installed a perl interpreter on my phone, I decided to see how easy it would be to port Insult to Android. To be honest, it was a piece of cake. I didn’t even have to alter the data files, just make a couple small tweaks to the main program.

The fun part is that the scripting engine provides ridiculously easy access to Android’s text-to-speech synthesizer. So not only can I generate random insults with a single touch, but the phone will also read them aloud!

Isn’t technology marvelous?

It’s been nearly 25 years since I first got my hands on SLAM EXEC and started developing my own natural language insult generator. Since then I’ve expanded its vocabulary to 38,000 data items from 26 parts of speech.

Back in the early days, Xmastime wasn’t Xmastime unless it included a randomly-generated sick and twisted version of the Twelve Days of Xmas. You can see two examples from the early 1990s in this old blog post.

This year, to commemorate this very special time of year, I thought I’d create a 2010 vintage. So, without further ado, I present to you… Let’s all sing it together, now:

On the twelfth day of Xmas my true love sent to me:

Twelve laughers LOLing
Eleven cross-dressers strutting
Ten thugs a-sneering
Nine security chiefs conspiring
Eight brides a-kibitzing
Seven carps a-croaking
Six seals a-bleeding
FIVE ACRYLIC SURFBOARDS!
Four crooning mallards
Three Cylon panda bears
Two wicked absorbent donkeys
And a cockroach in a retirement resort.

Of course, my invisible army of insult elves aren’t idle for the other eleven months of the year! They’re always busily generating thousands of random sentences in hopes of producing something akin to Shakespeare’s “Hamlet”.

I used to save the “best” (or perhaps simply “most interesting”) examples for my heirs and posterity in a file called GRAND SLAMS. Back in 2004, I shared four dozen of my personal favorites in this blog post.

This is, of course, leading up to another instance of oversharing. Here, for your approval, is another batch of classic random insults, fresh out of the virtual oven. I hope you enjoy them.

  • You superfluous male son of a feminist!
  • If you don't hula, just harry He-Man.

Ladies und gentlemann…

I think I’ve mentioned before that one of my greatest achievements in college was writing a completely random natural language insult generator, with a vocabulary of thirty thousand individual parts of speech. I haven't updated the data with any new, timely elements in a long time, but you can still play with one version of it here.

Each year at Xmastime, I’d make use of the Insult generator to create a uniquely twisted version of the Twelve Days of Christmas. While this year I couldn’t do that, because I don’t have the time to waste that I used to have in college, I can at least share with you two of my favorites from the good ole days. I hope they put you in the proper mood for the holiday.

This one’s from 1991, back when my email address looked like this:

jjmhome!wonky!ornoth@lectroid.sw.stratus.com
It hasn’t lost any of its efficacy, despite aging fifteen years:

On the 12th day of Christmas my true love gave to me:
    Twelve whiners whining
    Eleven regressers regressing
    Ten homeboys a-bellowing
    Nine midgets amassing
    Eight clients a-cringeing
    Seven Clydesdales a-hulaing
    Six apes a-brainstorming
    Five meat things
    Four streaking schnauzers
    Three inca Green Betrothal Monsters
    Two very Rubenesque gnomes
    And a very distrustful wildebeest in a cracker tree.

And this one’s the 1990 bottling:

On the 12th day of Christmas my true love gave to me:
    Twelve eunuchs undressing
    Eleven herbivores mocking
    Ten CEOs a-drowning
    Nine ministers a-beheading
    Eight androids a-broiling
    Seven orangutans a-hanging
    Six cyclops a-pokeing
    Five cotton spoons
    Four cross-dressing donkeys
    Three Zulu cockroachs
    Two marsupial elephants
    And a vorpal monkey in a corn dog tree.

Now we delve even further back into the archives, back to 1987, when I first got my hands on SLAM EXEC, an incredibly simplistic Mad Libs style insult generator. Well, being an industrious college student at the time, I promptly rewrote it (five times) to be the monster of all natural language insult generators, with over 35,000 data items and more than two dozen parts of speech! Here’s a small collection of some of the most interesting output it has produced…

  • Your pulsing erection reminds me of a sidewinder.
  • Go nibble that knish!
  • Your grin reminds me of a Tasmanian devil.
  • You dress like a hermaphroditic wonder.

And if you’re really desperate, there’s a Web-based version still around, which you can find here.
