I need help with my vocabulary. What website can I use?
Okay I need to upgrade my vocabulary so I can insult people who insult me back but not be so-simple? Like calling someone an ignoramus. Instead of " know nothing", or just using swears. If I'm cursed at, I'd rather not respond with cursing but a different higher or more sophisticated word. There are instances in which I cannot remember the right word or just plain don't know a word to say in an argument. Please help

One place to find great, unusual ways to say things are old movies... I mean the REALLY old movies, from the 1930s and 1940s. I don't remember the movie, but this is one of my favorites: "Reginald, please do be so kind as to favor me with your immediate departure." ("Go away and leave me alone.")
Honestly, the best way to handle someone who insults you is to look at them as if they are speaking an alien language, smile slightly, turn, and walk away without comment. When you consistently rise above their behavior, they have no where to go with their insults.
