One way guys display affection is by giving one another endless shit.

For those curious, I'd happily do a literal translation of a typical greeting between friends in Norther Norway, but I'm worried Twitter's shitty-ass machine learning implementation would permaban me.

It's less impressive than it is in person, since half the idea is to tailor-make the insults to the particular person you're dealing with.
E.g. you'll be sure to make a lot of references to same-sex intercourse if you know the person you're addressing is just a tad homophobic.

Proud, haughty people are sure to be reminded of their own stupidity or some dumb thing they once said (preferably exaggerated to seem even more ridiculous).
(As you can imagine, I get that a lot.)
And so on and so forth.
