Summary


The beauty of insults demonstrated in this exchange over
Brexit, British Exit from the European Union, voted for by
referendum on 23rd June 2016 with an introduction on the
nature of the insult, of art and of how insults can be art.
Compiled from a Nigerian centred listserve.






























The Ubiquity of Art

What is an insult and in what sense can it be art?

An insult is an effort to disparage, to put down another
person, to make them look small or ridiculous, deliberately
carried out through speech or some other action.

An insult becomes art when it is carried out with an
imaginative flair that goes beyond the mere act of attacking
the person addressed. The introduction of striking imagery,
the framing of the insult in terms of a range of references,
possibly more comical or biting than factual, are factors that
contribute to making the insult a work of art.

What is art, one might ask?

A question that will continue to attract various responses
into eternity, but in this instance, I would describe art as the
effort to project existence in terms that are more explicit to
the imagination than to linear logic. Along those lines, in the
following dialogue, a human being refers to themselves and
is referred to in terms of some other biological form that is
not human while another person is recurrently addressed in
terms of an occurrence that has no relationship with the
subject being discussed but is meant to take the minds eye
back in time to frame the person being addressed in the
image of that occurrence.

Let me leave you here, so I dont further convolute your
enjoyment of an offering from a Nigerian centred listserve,
excellent sources for insult art.

My People:

This is getting comical......The Brits are making a joke of
themselves....it is no longer just 1 million petitioners [ for a
revote on Brexit, British Exit from the European Union voted
for by referendum on 23rd June 2016] , but 2 million. Soon it
will be 3 million. They should only be listened too when it
is 18 million...:

VC Aluko (dismissed)

It is indeed comical at this point. The question is whether the
EU should sit around and wait for a second referendum.
Methinks, once one entity leaves they should stay that way
for at least 10 years. What do you think Ex-VC Aluko?

What is your business among human beings, you
reptile? What do you wish to know about Articles 49, 50
and 283 of the Lisbon Treaty:


QUOTE

Article 50 Treaty on European Union (TEU)

.

5. If a State which has withdrawn from the Union asks to
rejoin, its request shall be subject to the procedure referred
to in Article 49

UNQUOTE

While Article 49 means they just join LIKE ANY OTHER
nation who NEVER were once members - no time schedule:

QUOTE

Article 49 Treaty on European Union (TEU)

Any European State which respects the values referred to in
Article 2 and is committed to promoting them may apply to
become a member of the Union. The conditions of
admission and the adjustments to the Treaties on which the
Union is founded, which such admission entails, shall be the

subject of an agreement between the Member States and the


applicant State.

But what does a reptile like you understand about these
complex issues? All you do is crawl in Mushin swamps, and
spit like the snake that you are in pidgin Yoruba with
poisonous Igbo phrases.

Please don't waste my time any further.

And there you have it.

VC Aluko (sacked with immediate alacrity),

Thanks for all the information below. I do appreciate the
knowledge.

Frankly your time off in the creek did not diminish that urge
to teach huh? You see that has always been my argument
with Nigeria. People should be left alone at the level of their
competence instead [ of] promoting [them] into a level of
incompetence. I think there is a principle named after that
phenomenon - Peter principle!

You think that I was tutoring you? I would have sent it to
your reptilian email, if it was for you.

But the world can read your reptilian sub-human
nature: intrinsically and cynically ungrateful, even when
you are spared a few minutes not to completely quash your
Mushin-infested snake head. You and your ilk are ever
deceitful and contemptuous of everybody else that is not as
reptilian as yourselves, born and bred with lies, acultutrally
condemned. You spit lies in various languages, and were
conceived in blackmail.....you know what I mean....they are
not even codewords any more.

But that is your nature........condemnable and condemned.

VC Aluko (sacked),

This is the problem with Nigerians that I do not understand.
Why won't just accept with quibbles the accolades. Why are
you whining and bitching? I am only trying my best as a
gentleman but your crabbiness is getting in the way. I hope
this is not the usual behavior you exhibited in the creeks?
Could this be the reason for your summary termination?

By the way why do you not give credit where it is due. My


understanding of the Yoruba language is excellent and I can
bet a good amount of shekel that it is better than yours -
paapa!

What do snakes like you know about crabs - o yes, living in
near quarters. Or are you now a crake:

And what does gentlemanliness have to do with a


snake? This must be you then, a snake with a top hat, which
is still lower than a crab on its hind legs:

I see....gentle-snaki-ness...

Silly fellow....
