"I think... no, I am positive... that you are the most unattractive man I have ever met in my entire life. You know, in the short time we've been together, you have demonstrated EVERY loathsome characteristic of the male personality and even discovered a few new ones. You are physically repulsive, intellectually retarded, you're morally reprehensible, vulgar, insensitive, selfish, stupid, you have no taste, a lousy sense of humor and you smell. You're not even interesting enough to make me sick." - Alexandra Medford
She pretty says it all here. There's no other insults that you can use to cut a man down to size that Cher doesn't employ in this scene. What's extra funny about the delivery of this insult is that she doesn't even sound that angry at Jack Nicholson in this scene, not really. She's fed up and feeling defeated, but not mad. So she delivers this speech in an entirely matter of fact tone of voice. It would probably be more satisfying if Jack Nicholson didn't have such a smug, irritating look on his face while she said it, but hey, you can't have everything.
