Something along the lines of
"Look, what is up your arse, you supercillious little shite".
I thought it was one hell of an instant retort from my mum. Supercillious, although not really offensive sounds great:
A: It's a long word.
B: Its sounds like silly.
C: Super = great/large
D: ended in ous - like tremendous.
E: Not many people know what supercillious means. Thats the insulting bit, the unsureness of what has just been said.
To me, one word said a lot.
