Those are merely vulgar insults
The best insults by far are often very subtle
御前(おんまえ)→お前(おまえ)

His point is our default insults are direct and vulgar, which is indisputable. Yes, you can come up with subtler insults, but they are not commonly used like fuck shit faggot retard bitch cunt etc.

A good example of that is calling someone an American. On the surface it seems innocuous but to those who receive such an insult it is deeply offensive.

Sarcasm maybe? idk what >>77975747 is talking about, English is a vulgar language. Beautiful European languages are either Greek or Latin derived such as Italian and French.
