Insults on Trek...

[2 of 10]

In TVH ( The Voyage Home) when Kirk and company are in San Fransisco, the taxi almost runs him down and the driver yells at Kirk "watch where your're going you dumb ass" Kirk then says "Double dumb ass on You"

The question is can you think of any other insulting remarks on Trek???

In the Next Generation - Q is on the bridge, he says, "The Redound able Commander Riker, and Micrbrain, Growl for me! Let me know you still care!

[Herkimer Jitty]

P'taq!!

 

[KevasTrader]

Q to O'Brien on DS9: "Weren't you one of the little people?"

 

[AdmiralGarak]

Q's nickname for Chakotay is classic: Chuckles

 

[Deckerd]

You mean like "you pointy-eared hobgoblin"?

Considering he was supposed to be a doctor in the future, that struck me as a singularly 20th century-bound piece of bigotry.

Didn't they end many TOS episodes with McCoy saing something to the effect of Spock being "a green blooded, pointed eared freak" and then everyone would burst out laughing while Spock cocked an eyebrow?

That's how I remember TOS. Spock at the butt end of cruel, racist jokes, by people that love him!

We need Tarantino to make the sequel to the new movie- "Does it say 'dead goblin storage' on the door to my sickbay?"

Weirdly I seem to think there were a lot of insults thrown around, particularly DS9, but I can't remember anything specific.

Klingons calling people cowards, a few choice words for Garak and Quark, Kira having ago at Dukat... but it could mostly just be the impression left by the stories/characters.

The only thing that stands out at the moment is the sparring between Quark and Odo while they were marooned, and Weyouns subtle insults to Damar when they were on Cardassia, "Theres something different about you.."

First Contact maybe, Picard calling Worf a coward and then Lilly having a go at Picard.

My personal favorite from TOS. Yes, I know Kirk was purpously trying to piss off Spock, but still, it cuts to the quick:
"You mutinous, disloyal, computerized half-breed."
and
"You're not a man, you're an elf with a hyperactive thyroid."

 

[Darth_Yoda]

"You obtuse piece of flotsam" (Q to Picard)

I use it whenever I can

 

[WillsBabe]

Varool. It's Romulan for something. From TNG's The Defector.

 

[Temis the Vorta]

The Andorians referring to hew-mons as "pink-skins" was pretty hilarious. Racist jerks!

And the Ferengi pronunciation of hew-mon was definitely a none-too-subtle jibe.

But the best of all time..."I didn't mean to imply the Enterprise should be hauling garbage. I meant it should be hauled away as garbage."

 

[Newspaper Taxi]

Q to Worf: "Eat any good books lately?"

 

[Crewman47]

The Andorians referring to hew-mons as "pink-skins" was pretty hilarious. Racist jerks!

It makes you wonder how they see coloured humans like Mayweather. Maybe they don't see the dark skin and all humans look pink, some sort of Andorian colour blindness?

I dunno if it was ever said on screen, but my Klingon Dictionary has "your mother has a smooth forehead!" Always makes me laugh.

Then you've got to check this out! I posted this a long time ago on another site:
Star Trek: Tales From The Orion Syndicate

 

[Red Ranger]

Some of my faves:

-Kirk to Baris in The Trouble With Tribbles: "I have never before questioned the intelligence of any representative of the Federation . . . until now!"

-The Proconsul to Merrick, when he's relating to Kirk as a man, in Bread & Circuses: "Would you leave us, Merrick? The thoughts of one man to another cannot possibly interest you!"

-Picard to Ardra in The Devil's Due, in response to her trying to seduce him:

ARDRA: Don't you find me alluring, Picard?
PICARD: On the contrary. I find you obvious and vulgar.

-Sisko to Weyoun, don't recall the ep: "I don't like the Dominion, I don't like what it stands for, and I don't like you. So let's skip the pleasantries and stick to business."

There's a great exchange between Sisko and Dukat (again, don't recall the ep title) where they trade barbs about titles. Sisko is surprised that Dukat hasn't promoted himself back to the higher rank of Legate, and Dukat says he prefers the hands-on title of Gul, which isn't as pretentious as Emissary. Sisko replies there's a better title for Dukat: "How about Dominion puppet?"

"tin-plated overbearing swaggering dictator with delusions of godhood" -- Klingon to Scotty, about Kirk (TOS:"The Trouble With Tribbles")

"It would be interesting to impress your memory engrams on a computer, doctor. The resulting torrential flood of illogic would be most entertaining." -- Spock to Bones (TOS:"The Ultimate Computer")

Scotty: "Thank heaven."
Spock: "Mr. Scott, there was no deity involved. It was my cross-circuiting to B that recovered them."
Bones: "Well, then, thank pitchforks and pointed ears!"
(TOS:"Obsession")

McCoy: "I don't see no points on your ears boy, but you sound like a Vulcan!"
Data: "I am an android."
McCoy: "Almost as bad."
(TNG:"Encounter at Farpoint")

Heres a couple good ones from McCoy right in a row.

Genesis, yes. How can you be deaf
with ears like that?

ALIEN
Genesis allowed is not... Is
planet forbidden.

McCOY
Now listen to me, my backwards
friend!
