Incoherent with jealousy, I see. Your attempts to dissuade me are unintelligible and unimaginative. They are also doomed to failure. 1, 2

1 - The insults are an early twentieth attempt at sending me running for the hills, but a djinni is made of tougher stuff. We have a saying: Silver and rosemary may poison my essence, but names will only make me laugh. Humans, of course, stole it and twisted it to the "sticks and stones may break by bones, but names will never hurt me" saying.
