One of the main elements to a good insult is the presence of short vowels followed by hard consonants. Start with a labial affricate, then an open round or unround vowel, followed by a velar plosive. The psychological connotations of this combination are congruous for many languages and you'll notice all English curses have this in common. "Foaming pipesnake" lacks impact. It needs umph. It needs velar consonants.

It's better to stick with the basics when inventing new insults and curse combinations. Take what you already know and seek new combinations. For beginners a word bank may be helpful. One is included with your course materials. First start with simple two word combinations. For beginning two word combinations, shorter nouns are preferred:

Ass Beast Slap Dick Cock Whore Ass Clown Suck It Flea Cock

And so on. If you are ready to try the next level, you may proceed to three and four syllable two-word combinations. Again, stick to what you know and look for innovative combinations. The vowel-consonant rules still apply:

Donkey Raper Ass Ferret Cock Turkey Rectum Jester Whiffle Dick

The rest of this course is focused on proper integration and usage of the two to four syllable compounds in everyday speech. By the end of your final exam you should have mastered the concepts underlying insult phonology and feel comfortable with their use. You will then be ready to proceed to SUKIT 325.

Topics addressed in SUKIT 325:

-Advanced phonology

-Advanced compounds: The five syllable three-word combination

-The value of obscure allusions like "mushroom stamp" and "chocolate starfish"

-Social Repercussions of the six syllable four-word combination, or “haiku.” The haiku is the rarest, most intricate, and melodious of the insults. The linguistics of haikus such as “cock thieving ass vandal” and “limp wristed ass eater” are still scrutinized by scholars.
