What is a minor insult?

A minor insult is a subtle or light-hearted remark that may offend someone but is usually not intended to cause serious harm or distress. It often involves teasing, sarcasm, or playful criticism and can be used among friends or acquaintances without the expectation of deep offense. While it may sting a little, it typically lacks the weight of a serious insult and can sometimes even be taken in good humor.
