- Grammar Points.
but it works as an insult. You wouldn't call someone "you spineless SNAKE" but you would say "you spineless worm"

Again, Spineless Snake works better as an insult. Since snakes have spines (of sorts) calling them spineless says they are not only a snake, but a malformed one.

Worms don't have spines, ergo redundant.

I see your logic. I agree with you in theory. But, in practice I disagree. The point of this insult is to convey that they cowards - that they won't stand up for themselves. And nothing else. Therefore, the redundancy of jellyfish, or worm, really brings forward a palpable sense of gutlessness.

However, if you were wanting to imply someone is both a coward and a liar, or a devious coward, I would agree that "spineless snake" is the superior insult.

Yet, in Chest's blind rage towards Omni, he cannot focus long enough to craft two-pronged insults. They must be direct and painful, like the crippling blow dozens of our beloved members dealt BDA when they left us for a new master.

Language is not so strict as to always be restricted by pure grammar. Especially when it comes to insults and slang!

If I were to do some name-calling to omni, I would perhaps say that they are hypocritical dogfish. So delusioned by their own vanity that they lie and steal to further themselves in the very front they claim to not care about (getting pixels), while the dogfish captures the two-faced nature of the founding Omni crew.

Cloki is a both a fool and an upstart tyrant who has been duped by the insidious, nearly machiavellian scheme of Gats, the Hoodwinker.

And every member that left because "all my friends are going," are exactly as Chest put it, spineless jellyfish.

These are just starter packs and you can purchase the expanded edition of BDA's Hatred Toward Omni Pack anyday, just PM me.

If he wore the tag for one week I dare say he would finally have found the family style raiding guild that he has been looking for.

I guess if they 'absconded' with the loot then your loot council didn't pick very well?
