(On a successful save) "Damn straight I fight like a dairy farmer! YOU try defending not only your family but also your entire herd against raiders without losing any family members nor even a single head of cattle. Not a one. Do you think you are tougher than an entire squad of raiders? Do you, punk?"
No, on a successful save, you reply with "How appropriate. You fight like a cow!"
That is more of a persuasion (seduction) counter than vicious mockery. The first bard accused the second of being a dairy farmer and the bard accused in turn accuses the first of being a cow.... 'Wait... you want to... milk me?'
This man doesn't get the reference. Don't worry @6thLyranGuard, I get it.
Ah, the negotiator.
Which species of cow? An adult female elephant, or an adult female bison is a rather fearsome beast.
My go-to for Vicious Mockery is to just criticize their form. "Keep your elbows up! UP!" or "Turn in your left foot! Solidify your core!"
Basically, just antagonize them and make them self-conscious about their fighting. Works with the whole "grants disadvantage on the next attack" thing, and it doesn't matter that I, the player, don't actually know what I'm talking about, because the whole point is to just confuse them with jargon.
