Insults?

Well, "nice" used to be an insult. Maybe it's shifting back that way again. :)

\Nice\, a. (Compar. Nicer; superl. Nicest.) (OE., foolish, fr. OF. nice ignorant, fool, fr. L. nescius ignorant; ne not + scius knowing, scire to know. perhaps influenced by E. nesh delicate, soft. See No, and Science.) 1. Foolish; silly; simple; ignorant; also, weak; effeminate. (Obs.) --Gower.
