  • My favorite insult is, "If he got any dumber, we'd have to water him twice a week"
  • “I have got a smile on my face today.” “Well that’s good.” “Then the sight of you wiped it right off!” -Arthur Morgan, Antagonizer, 1899.
  • @Voodoomaria
    One of my favorite insults in this vein is: "He's such a liar, he has to get somebody else to call his dog for him."
  • @thecowboy9698
    I actually have used the term "Greenhorn" from time-to-time, not to insult, but rather just as a way acknowledging that the person in question is young and inexperienced, and thus simply needs time to learn and grow, and once he does, he'll be able to handle himself better.
  • @SlickSixguns
    Nice…Dirty Dan the slack Jawed Dirty Rotten Card Cheat… oh a good one. Thanks for the shout out
  • @Brombear
    "Insults (chuckle) Yeah...that sounds like fun." Ah, to be so blessed with friends so indulgent. Another great one Santee! Thanks to all the Ghostriders!
  • @brianfuller757
    When language is art. You slay with grace. Not necessary to be crude or vulgar. Great video.
  • @jeff9104
    ' Yosemite Sam' could have used a few of those, great stuff Santee !
  • @oneer8435
    Well I guess I'll head to the saloon and find me a tail waggler......
  • @margeoconnor166
    No slack jawed card counting cowpokes were hurt during the filming of this video. (At least, not seriously.)
  • Thanks again Santee & Co. One of my favorite old time insults is to call someone a poltroon , meaning a coward so low as to hide behind a woman's skirts .
  • I've used a couple of these terms from time to time! Now you'll have to do one on compliments, my favorite is pulchritudinous! Great video Santee!
  • @sailorbychoice1
    Santee, I think this might be my favorite You Tube Channel. I know I'm always excited to see a new video drop. Thank yee Pardner,
  • @TimKoehn44
    Very interesting Santee. I still us the term Hornswaggler. I hope the Cpt stays safe on deployment. Been there 3 times. Love Dirty Dan! Keep the great videos coming!
  • @jerseyred9554
    Great episode Santee, and a big shout out to Dan . Real funny ending.
  • @rickkinki4624
    I ain't never snapped no whipper or swaggled no horn! -Desert Rat Rick
