Kada uvrede imaju nivo

Kada uvrede imaju nivo
"Some cause happiness wherever they go; others, whenever they go.", uvreda je koju je jednom prigodnom prilikom izrekao poznati irski pisac Oscar Wilde i time ušao u anale 'otmjenih' uvreda. Slične, a možda i bolje pokušaje, njih dvadesetak, možete pronaći u nastavku. Sve su uvrede na engleskom jeziku, a nismo ih prevodili kako bi bile što autentičnije i zadržale izvorni smisao. I za kraj, sljedeći put kad poželite nečiju mamicu poslati na Pazar, sjetite se ovoga
