Musings on Insults

I don't like it when people use the wrong word to insult someone. An asshole is very different from a douchebag, or a dick. When you don't use the right word, the insult is not as potent, I feel. Not to say that a douchebag can't be an asshole or vice versa, but when insulting someone, I feel that you ought to use the word that fits their unpleasant behavior at the time. If someone is being an asshole, don't call them a shithead. It just doesn't make sense.
