One sort of insult I've always found amusing is statements that imply that the more promiscuous a woman's appearance, the greater the force she is likely able to generate with her neck and facial muscles to create suction in her mouth. The most well known of these was made famous in Full Metal Jacket, when the drill sergeant uses it to insult one of the recruits -- "You look like you could suck a golf ball through a garden hose!" (which is doubly clever, as it implies both that he is promiscuous AND a homosexual!). Anyway, I've also heard the following:

She looks like she could suck the chrome off a trailer hitch! And,

She looks like she could suck-start a cement truck!

I feel like I used to know others, but I've forgotten them. Do young people still use these sorts of expressions? Or might I as well be saying "Flimshaw!" when use them?

Not a put down but it was received as one. When I was at college a Scouse friend passed me his essay to proof read. On reading it he asked me what I thought.

I replied its the dogs b@ll@cks at which point he grabbed me round the throat, pinning me against the wall. As he raised his fist to punch me I managed to speak out " that means its good John" at that point he let go of me dusted me down and\d said "oh, well thats alright then."

Thats always made me laugh since as it was right out of a Harry Enfield scouser skit

hi Nick I went to school in Bromley in the 1970s Bexley was used as an insult. I had buried this in the far corner of my mind at some stage at school it got changed to EEEEEEHHHHH Bex with the tongue tucked in front on the teeth with shortened arm movements and stooped legs,it looked a bit like the John MILLS character in the film Ryans daughter.
