      This is very powerfull because it has no slurs, polite, does jot compare you to something like a 8 years old insult and makes you think about for a moment. When the meaning sinks in you realize its power and it hurts.

      Insults that compare you to something aren’t that powerful.

      Insults that describe you, like this one, have a great impact.

      From a certain angle it could be a compliment. “I know how good you are, so I can’t undersell you”

      Use that angle when someone calls you out on this insult.
