So, during your epic battles with your buddies do any of your player engage in taunts? If so does the level of sophistication vary?
Or do they stick with the classics?

History Today has much to answer for… Ancients game, just killed the enemy generals chariot.
Pick up box of matches,
Display to opponent,
Declaim "that's your genero's chariot that is. That's his mode of transport" |

Is the "classic" example from MP's The Holy Grail? |

"Your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries!" Classic all the way. |

A far cry from 'Nyaah nyaah', or the ever popular, 'nanny nanny boo boo'! |

Thank you, Stryderg! Makes me want to watch it again… |

Always Python. Stick with the classics. |

We occasionally insert a "Taunting Phase" into the turn sequence of any game we're playing, just to keep things civilized. |

Well duh! They're called 'classics' for a reason. Classics here. |

Or the famed hand gesture of thumbing the nose and waving the fingers. Or Shakespeare's "biting your thumb". |

Taunting and smack talking were taught to me early by my mother in epic battles of Parcheesi and Uncle Wiggly. We did keep it classic and clean. |

I have always been fond of "you hit like a girl", especially if it was a girl who hit me.

| etotheipi | 11 Mar 2019 1:28 p.m. PST |
you hit like a girl Laila Ali or Ronda Rousey? |

I couldn't say as neither of them have tried to assault me. But I have had plenty of nurses whack me after I teased them and the look on their faces when I say that is priceless, pure comedy gold. |

No one has mentioned the tried and single finger salute which in some cultures simply means, "We're number 1, we're number 1"! |

Etotheipi's comment reminds me of a day when my daughter and I were swatting at one another, playing around. She slapped my arm and I quickly responded "You hit like a girl". She quips back, "Well, if you hit harder, you would hit like a girl". She wins. All I could do was laugh, till I CRIED! |

Ooooh! I like that one!!! Can I use it? |

Sometimes when my opponent makes what looks like a safe and innocent move I'll get all excited, fist pump and then stick my head over the table checking imaginary LOS to his unit. He'll hesitate and then ask, "What is there something wrong with my move?" and I'll go back to normal straight face and innocently reply, "Nothing, you can make that move, I wouldn't but you can and remember, you can't take back your move" and then sit back and smile. Another version is to start laughing hilariously when he moves and refuse to give a reason why. It's Psy Op 101. Wolfhag |

In my case those are the first signs of early onset Alzheimers. |
