Invective: the most ABUSIVE rhetorical device

In school (at least when you write) you want to sound polite, proper, and academic. However, today is going to be different--you punk. That’s right, I said it. I could let off a stream of invectives now if I wanted, but I won’t. Not yet, anyways. You see, Invective is a rhetorical device where the writer or speaker insults, abuses or uses highly critical language towards someone or something else. It is used to arouse negative emotions in readers and listeners--you know--to get them riled up. But you probably don’t understand that, cause--in all likelihood--you can’t even spell invective…pft…punk Anyways before you try to hurl invective back at me--realize this: there is high invective and low invective. Low invective is when you hurl insults at a person with informal language such as slang or swear words. And High invective is when you use formal language in a creative yet insulting way. For example, Mark Twain once said “I didn't attend the funeral but I sent a nice letter saying I approved." This would be an example of high invective. It is a diss that is clever and creative. Now this letter is an example of low invective "A vile beastly rottenheaded foolbegotten brazenthroated pernicious piggish screaming, tearing, roaring, perplexing, splitmecrackle crashmecriggle insane ass of a woman is practicing howling below-stairs with a brute of a singingmaster so horribly, that my head is nearly off." (Edward Lear, "Letter to Lady Strachey") Now that you know what invective is, here is your task. Hurt insults at a sports team. You can use high invective or low invective, it doesn’t matter. Just be sure your insults are school appropriate. For example, the Garbage men--I mean the Green Packers--are just a garbage team. I mean, their uniforms look like actual garbage--or recycling to be more precise. To be a Packer fan is kind of like joining a cult. Their fans are obsessive, but this is probably because there is not much to do in Wisconsin besides each cheese. I feel pity for these fans--wearing cheese on their heads in freezing weather. Do they realize there are people relaxing on beaches in Florida who are not freezing and who are not wearing cheese on their heads. Every day I wake up grateful that I am not a fan of the Green Bay Garbage Men. Now it is your turn to use invective as a means of stirring up emotions and dissing that sports team you hate. And if you don’t have a sports team you dislike, well find one you empty-headed non-sports-following punk.
