Actually I don't. I hadn't realised that when a person believes that 
somebody has made an especially clever, witty, insightful or fun remark, 
that's actually a put-down of all the other people whose remarks weren't 
quite as clever, witty, insightful or fun.

But now that I've had this pointed out to me, why, I see insults 
everywhere! Tonight, my wife said to me that she liked my new shirt, so I 
replied "What's the matter, you think my trousers are ugly?"
