Rhymes were not uncool at primary school. As a result of this, a standard dialogue was developed and employed in response to being the recipient of an (often unprovoked)insult. It went thus:
Twinkle twinkle little star,
What you say is what you are.
Hence, a conversation might go as follows:
Child a: You're a puff.
Child B: Twinkle twinkle little star, What you say is what you are.
Result: With the insult sucessfully reversed, child A has become the puff.
The initial insulter then developed a smart retort to this cunning reversal(still with me here?) and it went, "I know y'are".
The conversation would now go like this:
Child a: You're a puff.
Child B: Twinkle twinkle little star, What you say is what you are.
Child a: I know y'are.
Result: Child B is the puff.
(By the way, this is a generic child B and could be anyone, rather than a specific individual. We didn't have specific individuals at our school)
Child B, armed with the knowledge of what was coming next took this retort and pre-emptively added it to his initial response to the insult.
So, the new ammedned conversation went as follows:
Child a: You're a puff.
Child B:Twinkle twinkle little star, What you say is what you are - I know y'are.
Result: Child A is the puff.
As i'm sure you'll agree, there can be no suitable response to this witty exchange (besides, it had started to get pretty confusing as it is with neither child quite sure who had come off the best) and as such, the practise soon died a death. As did the school, they closed it down last summer... the bastards.

There was a boy at school called Justin Oliver Hayhoe. There's an L, an O, a V, an E and an S in there. That boy loved everybody and everybody loved him....
... in theory. The reality was that he was a twat and possibly the least popular person I've ever met.
Love Percentage Calculators, please note! There's a subtle difference between having the letters of the word LOVE in your name, and having the sort of name that makes you sound like a raving gaylord.
