    If I time my sneer right people will know exactly what I mean.

    I'm not sure a sneer will provide a response that is inspiring or exhorting... though you could probably manage inciting ;)

    My sneer will convey a metrical foot of four short syllables!

    Is this essentially a clever way of saying your foot will be in your mouth (well, being conveyed by your face, one presumes in your mouth as opposed to being balanced on your nose, then again, I wouldn't trust you not to)?

    [grins at you]

    I can lick my own elbow!

    But more importantly, can you lick your own foot? And if not why not?

    Pfft, anyone can lick their foot.

    I was assuming said foot may just belong to a hypothetical person who assumed that:
    a) She was insulting them in an unfamiliar language.
    b) The sneer was insulting, and should be forcibly removed through application of a foot.

    Hmmm, application of foot. Well, she has got a reputation to live down to... (-;
