Im currently writing a crossover story but I always end up using the same insults over and over again. Im mainly looking for insults between Ranma and Genma, as well as Urd and Skuld. Thats insults from both sides, you know Ranma saying "stupid panda, and Genma replyimg "Weak girl" or something. A list of insults used would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.

edit: Another question I just thought about. What are the clasifications for goddess's? Is just from Class 3 Category 3 limited, up to Class 1 Category 1 Unlimited? Are there any lower or higher classes not inclueding Kami-sama?

IIRC, the ranks of the Gods in the AMG universe is a pun on the way the Japanese issue and rank driver's licenses, so you should look there for a close in view.

That said, Belldandy, being a First Class Second Category goddess, is considered to be extremely high ranking and powerful, while Lind is likewise a First Class goddess, but of the Special Duties Category. I'd say, because of that, that Class refers to power available on Earth (Urd is actually somewhat more powerful than Bell despite being only Second Class), yet Category is a shorthand job description.
I'm not certain about how limitations work, but they may well refer to how much power you can throw about about before certain flags go up in Yggdrasil and an investigation is launched on the why and whatfor. Limited will probably mean a smaller amount of power before an investigation is launched than Unlimited.

You know in the Manga while Ranma and Genma do fight very often they don't really insult each other that much. For insults between two people you'd be better off using Akane and Ranma. Look at the first 5 volumes or so and there are very few insults between Ranma and Genma and the ones that are there are like "my own son so humiliating so humiliating". I'm not %100 sure but I don't remember Genma ever calling Ranma a weak girl in the manga. Genma being super sexist is mostly fanon if you recall Genma in the manga has even advised Ranma to wear make-up (lipstick) and girl clothes (mini-skirt better than dress according to Genma) before (first date with Kuno to get wishing sword).

Thanks, I'll try to find out about that. I'll check wiki first.
Edit:Damn cant find anything about this, not that I have any idea what im looking for. Even checked google but didn't find anything.

Damn I really need read the manga again, I think the huge amounts of fanfiction has warped my mind on how things are. Thanks anyway.

Ranma & Genma seem to fight verbally more in the anime, if you want to try that for insult ideas, but the idea of Genma calling Ranma a girl is almost entirely fanon. The one time I can recall him specifically calling Ranma "girly" as an insult is in the first episode- he complains Ranma sounds like a girl when he tosses him into the koi pond for berating Genma over the stupidity in going to Jusenkyo. In the anime, Genma actually dresses in drag nearly as often as Ranma does, truth be told (old lady in Nekoken story, woman in the Miss Martial Arts Takeout Race, half-dressed schoolgirl in the Master/Disciple Pills story, dominatrix in the Case of the Missing Takoyaki, and that's just off the top of my head).
