That would be Saeros about Túrin, spoken to Mablung I believe.

Yup, thats right! I was thinking of Saeros saying it to Turin, after he threw the vessel at Saeros, but he also says it about Turin to Mablung right after!!

Your turn Guinevere

Thank you, Maedhros!

"You're a booby," said William. "Booby yourself!" said Tom.

The trolls in The Hobbit before deciding whom to squash first.

Exactly!

I hope you still find more insults...
(I know several in Tolkien's Minor works, but those are not so well known.)

Like Farmer Giles of Ham or Leaf by Niggle? I think we'd have to get a consensus before picking quotes from non-Middle-earth stories.

Anyway, here's an insult...
