    You have to learn all the insults from pirates. Go to the map area and stand still for pirates to attack you.

    You won't be able to reply straight away as you have to learn the comebacks. So wait for them to say it and if you don't have a come back pick something random. You are not penalized for loosing battles.

    Insult:This is the END for you, you gutter-crawling cur!
    Comeback:And I've got a little TIP for you, get the POINT?

    Insult:Soon you'll be wearing my sword like a shish kebab!
    Comeback:First you better stop waiving it like a feather-duster.

    Insult:My handkerchief will wipe up your blood!
    Comeback:So you got that job as janitor, after all.

    Insult:People fall at my feet when they see me coming.
    Comeback:Even BEFORE they smell your breath?

    Insult:I once owned a dog that was smarter then you.
    Comeback:He must have taught you everything you know.

    Insult:You make me want to puke.
    Comeback:You make me think somebody already did.

    Insult:Nobody's ever drawn blood from me and nobody ever will.
    Comeback:You run THAT fast?

    Insult:You fight like a dairy farmer.
    Comeback:How appropriate. You fight like a cow.

    Insult:I got this scar on my face during a mighty struggle!
    Comeback:I hope now you've learned to stop picking your nose.

    Insult:Have you stopped wearing diapers yet?
    Comeback:Why, did you want to borrow one?

    Insult:I've heard you were a contemptible sneak.
    Comeback:Too bad no one's ever heard of YOU at all.

    Insult:You're no match for my brains, you poor fool.
    Comeback:I'd be in real trouble if you ever used them.

    Insult:You have the manners of a beggar.
    Comeback:I wanted to make sure you'd feel comfortable with me.

    Insult:I'm not going to take your insolence sitting down!
    Comeback:Your hemorrhoids are flaring up again, eh?

    Insult:There are no words for how disgusting you are.
    Comeback:Yes there are. You just never learned them.

    Insult:I've spoken with apes more polite then you.
    Comeback:I'm glad to hear you attended your family reunion.

    Each time you learn a new insult write it down and then use it until you get the right comeback. If you don't get the right comeback from the pirate you will have to say it again next time you fight. Rince and repeat until you have heard all of them. The hardest one I had was the apes one and I have to wait for 5 more battles after learning the others before it was even mentioned.

    Once you have got the last INSULT the achievement will pop but make sure you learn the comeback for your battle with the sword master :D

    SERPENT SUICIDEWhat a stupid achievement.

    TheOnlyMattoWhen you get to the last one you can save your game right before saying a bad insult (you call yourself a pirate) and then reload if he doesn't say what you need. This can help you keep your time down if you are speed running at the same time. I got all insults and am ahead of the speed run video, atm.

    For the French players:

    Insulte Pirate: Tu peux encore prendre tes jambes à ton cou!
    Réponse: Rien à faire, je te tiendrai tête jusqu'au bout!

    Insulte Pirate: Sous peu je vais t'embrocher avec mon épée !
    Reine du Sabre: Ma langue est plus pointue que n'importe quelle épée.
    Réponse: D'abord arrête de la brandir comme un plumeau.

    Insulte Pirate: Bave pas comme ça, ton épée va déraper!
    Reine du Sabre: Arrête d'ouvrir la bouche, j'ai le vertige!
    Réponse: Je vais te la fermer une fois pour toutes.

    Insulte Pirate: Les gens tombent comme des mouches quand j'arrive.
    Reine du Sabre: Je vois souvent les gens comme toi ivres dans le caniveau.
    Reine du Sabre: Mes ennemis les plus endurcis s'enfuient en me voyant!
    Réponse: Avant MEME de sentir ton haleine?

    Insulte Pirate: J'avais un chien qui était plus intelligent que toi.
    Reine du Sabre: J'avais un singe qui te ressemblait.
    Réponse: Il a dû t'apprendre tout ce que tu sais.

    Insulte Pirate: Tu peux pas te payer des pantalons plus longs.
    Reine du Sabre: Tu as des cuisses de grenouille.
    Réponse: J'ai gagné le concours de beaux mollets musclés.

    Insulte Pirate: Ca se voit que l'alcool t'a imbibé le cerveau.
    Reine du Sabre: Si tu crois me vaincre en titubant.
    Réponse: Je bois pour pouvoir tolérer les gens comme toi.

    Insulte Pirate: Tu te bats comme un boeuf!
    Reine du Sabre: Je vais te faire ruminer tes insultes, sale bovin!
    Réponse: Et toi tu te bats comme une vache!

    Insulte Pirate: Ta voix n'a pas encore muée!
    Reine du Sabre: T'as une angine ou tu parles toujours comme ça.
    Réponse: Excuse-moi, mais j'ai fait un tube l'été dernier.

    Insulte Pirate: Tu portes encore des couches?
    Reine du Sabre: Tu n'aurais pas du tremper dans cette histoire.
    Réponse: Pour être marin, il faut savoir se mouiller!

    Insulte Pirate: Alors, tu bafouilles quand tu parles aux femmes.
    Reine du Sabre: La séduction n'est pas ton fort!
    Réponse: Les femmes se battent pour s'approcher de moi.

    Insulte Pirate: Tu ne peux pas comparer ton esprit au mien, pauvre idiot.
    Reine du Sabre: Tu ne pourras jamais te mesurer à mon courage.
    Réponse: Si tu l'utilises, je vais vraiment avoir peur.

    Insulte Pirate: Tu te comportes comme un mendiant.
    Reine du Sabre: Tout tes mots sont idiots.
    Réponse: J'essayais de me mettre à ton niveau.

    Insulte Pirate: Ja vais t'aider à te raser!
    Reine du Sabre: Tu as besoin d'être repeigné!
    Réponse: Laisse tomber j'ai déjà fait ma toilette!

    Insulte Pirate: Je ne trouve pas de mots pour exprimer mon dégoût.
    Reine du Sabre: Tu réveilles en moi un mépris inexprimable.
    Réponse: Je peux t'aider à trouver les mots si tu veux.

    Insulte Pirate: J'ai parlé à des singes qui étaient plus polis que toi.
    Reine du Sabre: Maintenant je connais la corruption et la stupidité.
    Réponse: Je vois que tu as passé du temps chez tes parents.

    Bye Bye

    You don't need to learn any of the comebacks, so when you get into fights, don't bother trying to win. Use the poor comebacks ('Oh yeah', 'I'm rubber, you're glue', etc.) and the poor insults ('You're ugly') so the pirate immediately comes up with another insult. This way you'll hear more insults quicker.

    Also, I'm not sure if the type of pirate you fight have different insults, but trying switching that up as well. Only took me about 10-15 minutes.

    TardiiThe swordmaster won't allow you to fight her if you've never won a fight.

    Orran DuraiSo what? This achievement is for learning insults, not fighting the sword master. Following the solution, I got it in about 25 minutes. Thumbs Up laugh!
