Long forgotten insults from my youth!

My brother and I can be quite childish when we're together and the other day during one of our childish moments I called him a 'tool', an insult I haven't used since I was in my teens! It got me thinking about other insults we used back then that we no longer say (or maybe teens still do and I just don't know it because I'm no longer a teen) - I recall 'wank stain' being one particular favourite Grin

Does anyone else have any old favourites they want to share? I think I've forgot most of the ones we used!

You're a silly soppy sentimental dislocated drainpipe.

Ours were so non PC, I can't repeat them.

I'd forgotten about spanner too! I don't even know how/why that was an insult, as was 'tool' in general but not hammer or screwdriver Confused Going to Google!

Gaylord was a term the boys at our Junior school would constantly call each other. I had no idea what it meant.

'Chinny', 'chinny reckon'

you donkey!!!

MagicFajita · 19/08/2018 20:12

Your mum.

That was the worst and most insulting thing to say in my teens. Dh and I still say it to each other for a laugh.

Shockers · 19/08/2018 20:13

My teens still use donkey.

All the kids at my school say ‘your mum’, and lately have added ‘your nan’.

lou1221 · 19/08/2018 20:13

lemon, spanner, tool, arsewipe, butt breath, knob, dicksplash,

candlefloozy · 19/08/2018 20:14

@MagicFajita I used to say that all the time when I was a teen. Said it to a friend of a friend who id not long met to then be told his mom had passed away. Never said it again.

You are not an arse but 'an arse wipe' or you are a AW when parent around.
Also we used to call my parents names -when cross with them but they had no idea. MIB was mother is being a b*h -was one. As in MIB's coming upstairs etc ...........but she had no idea. Go figure.
My father was LBW - little bastard wanker........... he always thought we referring to his cricketing.

We also thought it was very funny to swear in French or whatever language we were learning....

My friend at school once called his mum a dildo Blush.

It was a popular insult in the early eighties, but he didn’t know it was an actual thing...

LockedOutOfMN · 19/08/2018 20:16

"sad" and "saddo" and "tragic"

MagicFajita · 19/08/2018 20:16

@candlefloozy your mum is a risky one...that wasn't meant as an insult by the way Grin

Spod- would later become dweeb.

MarklesMerkin · 19/08/2018 20:17

arsewipe actually loved this one too. I still think it's brilliant, I'm going to start using most of these again!!

bertielab love the codewords, I'll be paranoid in a couple of years though if my son starts to come out with similar!
