One of the most enlightening books I read as a teenager was "The Wit of Oscar Wilde" a gift from my father. It taught me the value of a well phrased insult or what we refer to now as backhanded compliment. Things like "I always feel smarter after listening to you". Stopped me getting in so many fights for calling (much larger, stronger kids) morons. I wish more theatre companies would perform his work.
