that doesn't mean it would be effective.

I'm not claiming what he aid was effective, because I don'tknow. But that may have been what he was going for.

Accurate insults often jus roll of of people because they aren't related to whatever i is that is the very last thing the person being insulted want to be though of as. The word "villain" originally meant someone who lives in or possibly works at a villa - an ancient Roman term meaning a country home (sometimes quite a lavish one.) But "villain" came to mean an uneducated yokel - and that was the last thing that so many people wanted to be thought of as (I guess some things don't change." When it devolved into "the bad guy" itlost nearly all is power as an insult

Tucker certainly presents as a man who would never want to be thought of as the kind of man who would pee his pants in a dangerous situation (at the same time presenting as exactly that kind of man.) But he's so superficial it's not easy to knowhow much that really stings.
