| Wrong Insult Offence | comment |
A Wrong Insult Offence occurs when one character attempts to insult another and hurls what they think is an appropriate insult in the other character's face. The second character considers this and then calmly replies, listing all the reasons why that particular insult does not apply to them and helpfully suggesting a more appropriate insult they could use. As a piece of characterization, this usually indicates that the insulted party does not take the insulter seriously. Alternatively, it could just indicate that the second party is a shocking pedant. Bonus points if the insult they suggest is worse than the original one. A Sub-Trope of Do Wrong, Right. If someone objects to the spelling or grammar of the insult, but not the insult itself, that's Grammar Correction Gag. Compare Insult Backfire, Insult Misfire, I Take Offence to That Last One, Insistent Terminology. The inverse is You Know I'm Black, Right? |

"Cousin Nicky" attempts to insult the Nazi, only to be bonked on the head by said Nazi for assuming there's anything worse than "Nazi" that he could call the guy. | |

Monty Python's Life of Brian was banned in several parts of the UK and other parts of Europe because local religious groups complained that the film was blasphemous. The Pythons were always quick to point out that the film would be blasphemous if they criticized Jesus Christ, which they didn't do: if anything, Jesus is portrayed rather respectfully.note The Pythons' original plan for the film had been to satirize Jesus, but when they read through The Four Gospels for research, they decided Jesus was a pretty cool guy. Instead, the film criticized organized religion overall (among other things), so technically it was heretical. | |

I, Jedi: Corran Horn, undercover in a Space Pirate gang, gets into a confrontation with one of his fellows named Remart after the latter insults Corran's wingman. Remart makes a snide remark about Corellians (i.e. both Corran and his cover identity Jenos Idanian) tending to speak before they think. Corran replies with a classic Cyrano routine about how to properly insult a Corellian, culminating in him telling a glowpanel joke on himself.note Q: "How many Corellians does it take to change a glowpanel?" A: "None: if it's dark you can't see them cheating at sabacc." | |

Gangs of New York: McGloin at one point, looking to pick a fight with Amsterdam, calls him a "fidlam bens" (a thief who steals worthless crap because he doesn't have the skills or guts to go after worthwhile loot). Amsterdam just shrugs and says that, given that the entire haul from his last heist was the corpse of a dead nightwatchman he sold to the local medical school, he really can't argue with the description. However, if McGloin had called him a "chiseler" (a thief who screws his partners out of their cut of the loot) he might feel insulted enough to fight. McGloin doesn't understand the term, but, being a dedicated Jerkass, says Sure, Let's Go with That. | |

In Analog Control's movie riff of Dwegons and Leprechauns, the hosts theorize that the eponymous dwegons got the main character's family evicted from his home in Chicago to force him to move in with them. Thayne theorized they sent a letter to his landlord containing a horrible racial slur, but MJTR countered that, since dwegons don't understand human society and prejudice well, the letter was probably the wrong racial slur. | |

Alexis Carew: Alexis once responds to an Upper-Class Twit calling her a "stupid bitch" over comms by remarking to the bridge crew that "The very worst thing about being a woman in this Navy is that the insults are so very limited. You men get called all the imaginative ones." Given a Call-Back in Privateer when a young lieutenant tries to pick Alexis (in civilian clothes) up in a bar, thinking her a local lady rather than the war heroine and privateer captain she really is. She starts in on him with the CO's routine of giving Pop Quizzes to young officers. He calls her a bitch for embarrassing him in front of the whole bar, and she boredly tells him to go ask his bosun for some better insults. |

In McAuslan in the Rough one of the pipe-sergeants is recalling a heroic predecessor; Piper Findlater, who earned a VC on the Afghan border when he stuck to his task under fire and wounded because, he said, he didn't want his regiment to be beaten by a pack of "beastly niggers". One of the listeners (quite enlightened for 1950s UK) complains that Findlater should not have said that, and the sergeant telling the story remarks "Nor he shouldn't, and you're right for once. They wass not niggers; they wass wogs". | |

M*A*S*H had one episode where Hawkeye, BJ, and Charles were all called a crumb, a louse, and a schmo in that order by Major Houlihan. When Houlihan later calls all of them crumbs together, Hawkeye corrects her by saying BJ is a schmo and Charles is a louse, while he is the only crumb. BJ and Winchester then correct him that BJ is the louse and Charles is the schmo. | |

Following an incident when a football supporter threw a banana at a black player, black comedian Nathan Caton did a monologue on The Now Show complaining about lazy racism. "I mean, if you threw a bottle of Reggae Reggae Sauce or a Nando's menu, I'd be offended, but I'd think you did some research!" | |

In the first Sword of Truth book, a mob comes to Zedd's house intending to lynch him because he's a witch. He starts his dialogue with them by asking to clarify whether they want to kill him for sorcery, or simply demean him by calling him a girl. | |

Given a Call-Back in Privateer when a young lieutenant tries to pick Alexis (in civilian clothes) up in a bar, thinking her a local lady rather than the war heroine and privateer captain she really is. She starts in on him with the CO's routine of giving Pop Quizzes to young officers. He calls her a bitch for embarrassing him in front of the whole bar, and she boredly tells him to go ask his bosun for some better insults. | |

Rivers of London: In Whispers Underground, a recent murder victim's extremely drunk, extremely American father asks PC Peter Grant whether he'd be more offended to be called a limey or a [racial epithet redacted]. Peter refuses to be provoked into dropping his line of questioning, but eventually points out that one of those words is impossible to take seriously and the other just makes the person saying it sound like a racist American: | |

Pisha in Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines is a rare vampire who has to consume human flesh, which makes her pretty off-putting even to a regular vampire. A Malkavian player character might nickname her "Black Widow", in which case she takes no offense but explains how "Mantis" would be a better pejorative. As a Fully-Embraced Fiend well into her third century of unlife, she's worked out the existential angst long ago. | |
