"cbzzvf"? Surely you mean "pbzzvr." Or maybe "snfpvfg".

(I know, "pommis" has some deep hidden meaning. And stop calling you 
Shirley.)

Yiddish insults are even better, because not one goon in ten thousand is 
going to have any idea what to make of them, but they're hard to cut and 
paste if you're using straight text (unless you're set up for Unicode) 
since Yiddish is properly written using the Hebrew alphabet. Of course 
not too many of them are going to understand "/Migulgl zolst du vern in 
a henglayhter, by tog zolst du hengen, un bay nakht zolst du brenen," 
whatever character set it's in. /
