22 Times Americans And Europeans Roasted The Hell Out Of Each Other And Ended Up Online
Article created by: Vėja Elkimavičiūtė
As a society—doesn’t matter which one—we’re past calling each other idiots or other simple, mono-to-duo-syllabic insults. And that’s for the best.
Because when you start elevating the level of the insult, making it complex, witty, or outright comedic with a good roast taste, it’s no longer acting upon an impulse of hate. No… It’s an exercise in creativity that involves knowing no boundaries.
And while this is not a rule, nor a statistic, equating someone’s lack of skill or cranial aptitude to a meteorological phenomenon might just crack them up to a degree where they couldn’t even be mad at you. And then you’d hug and forget why you were even arguing in the first place.
Now, apply that same logic between Americans and Europeans. This is that story.
We’ve also contacted Dr. Jeffrey Rubin, psychologist, author, and the man behind the From Insult To Respect blog, to discuss insults.
