Ok, what popular insult phrase...
Won't you use simply because you consider it hopelessly stupid?

For me it's the "drinking the Kool-Aid" insult.
I just think it's stupid.
And yes, I know where it's from.

7. Do Aussies have something similar?
We were talking about similar US and Canadian candies last night. It was very interesting.

9. We sell cordial (Though very concentrated) in the bottle, cos'
people just love their bottles. The public demands them, actually.

6. I don't use the Kool-Aid insult because
the people I would use it on are too dern stupid to understand the allusion.

8. The irony is that they didn't actually DRINK kool-aid
at Jonestown. It was flavor-aid.
