Who could boast, without being seen as a “four-flusher”, never having lived a situation when a slew of insults has come to mind (or mouth)?! Because what is more gratifying than a great mouthful of insults, to blow off steam? Could the insult be the “in flagrante delicto of humanity”, the proof of belonging to a community, with its excesses and weaknesses? The insult emerges everywhere that men meet, confront or affront each other. From the Medias to the schoolyard, to the political arena or Football fans, on Internet and in the work environment, the insult is the language barometer that reveals taboos, tensions and the norms of a society.
