the main use i've had for cheap vodka is in pole dance classes, it's good at making the pole clean and grippy again when u get it sweaty which is... still pretty cool and not useful for insults :c
good vodka is like mountain air in drinkable form. bad vodka is like someone cleaned a dentist office with everkleer and wet-vacced it into a plastic jug.
which vodka is the good one, because I can’t conceive of a vodka that doesn’t taste like rubbing alcohol
there's tons of ultra-premium vodkas out there, i'm not a big expert. grey goose is good. frankly i find skye quite nice, though i usually mix it rather than drinking it straight. honestly most of the vodkas i taste-tested when my friend joel was serving them in chilled test tubes at a mad science party, i didn't even make note of the names. i just remember that the best of them were like an aggressively fresh breeze. i generally get middling-good vodka like skye or absolut and ...forgot what i was going to say there, my cat just sneezed a great big booger onto my computer and i had to stop to clean it off.
i think i was going to say something about mixing it but with things where the flavor still comes through a bit, such as cranberry juice.
We've got a vodka at home that's got that drinking fresh air feeling, but I can't remember the name for the life of me right now. It can be done, though! Good vodka exists!
there's an alcohol thread, iirc, maybe we should continue the vodka quality discussion over there. edit: continuation.
...okay I have personally said at least five of these out loud and grew up hearing a decent fraction, so that they're all categorized under "old west insults" is hilarious.
My mom says a few of them from time to time with a vague affection of an accent she doesn’t have anymore.
my favorite is in the comments: "He was so damn mean he had to hold his gun to his head while he shaved or else he'd have slit his own throat."
Have I mentioned an old favourite of mine that was passed down by my dad? "Bugger me, said the bishop!"
