This is very powerfull because it has no slurs, polite, does jot compare you to something like a 8 years old insult and makes you think about for a moment. When the meaning sinks in you realize its power and it hurts.

Insults that compare you to something aren't that powerful.

Insults that describe you, like this one, have a great impact.
