Insults of The Pit

Most insults used in The Pit are the same ones we use in our world, but some denizens get creative when they want to offend someone.
Common Phrases

Used everywhere:

May you trip and fall of the edge of The Pit.
As The Pit stretches down for hundreds of meters, it would be very unfortunate to fall down.
Have you tried flying?
Same as above.
Go take a sunbath.
Pure sunlight is very dangerous for the denizens of the Pit. Even People of the Surface must cover themselves every time they go out, as merely seconds can bleach someones hair and clothes white.
Go on a walk on a Surface.
Anyone who goes out to Surface turns quickly to ash so it's the same type of insult as "go kill yourself".
Go sleep in the Red Sea.
Red Sea is a fast growing fungus, which seeks out and breaks down living tissue. Sleeping in the places it grows is unadvised.
Go on a walk in the Jungle.
Jungle is filled with very dangerous fauna and flora.
I heard you tried to hide something from the Spider.
The Spider is a person with ears everywhere. You don't want to make him curious about you.
 

More regional:

May thorns/horns grow out of your ass.
Used mostly in regions where Nature Elemental Sickness is prevalent and someone could grow these things involuntarily.
May thorns grow on your c*ck.
Same as above.
Go take a flashlight.
Used by the People of the Depths, as light attracts monsters down there.
