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!

Possibly rather outing so won't be specific, but based on someone vile and stuck up who once shrieked about some perceived slight 'but I have x qualification'. Along the lines of screaming about having your mile badge at the teen county swimming team. We used that as a general insult, along with her name, eg stop acting like a fucking x.

"Yer Maw"
"Did ye, aye?"
"Yer Da sells Avon"
"Heard it"
"Shitebag"
"Bawbag"
"Diddy"
"Fud" (also "Elmer")
"Tadge"
"Dobber"
"Weapon"
"Bint"

All said in a Glaswegian accent of course Grin

Saying "ooh, I care" to literally any piece of information, to show how much we did not care.

And of course adding Not to anything. "I like your pencil case (pause until they thinks you're serious) NOT!

Am I being stupid. I don't get 'your mum' what does it mean??

cheaperthebetter · 19/08/2018 20:44

When someone used to think they a "rock hard" and try start a fight with you or your friend ;

"How hard do you think you are really? Ya built like a shady nik nak!"

Few I still here but I don't like it is "crank!"
"Whopper!"
"Rat!"

Short for I fucked your mum

Is div bad? We used to say divot.

Did nobody else progress from chinny reckon to itchy belm then?

It was something to do with David Bellamy’s beard and also meant the person you were saying it to was fibbing. You’d shove your tongue over your bottom teeth to make your chin fat, then mime stroking a long beard...

Shockers · 19/08/2018 20:47

So those kids at my (primary) school who say ‘your nan...’???Shock

MarklesMerkin · 19/08/2018 20:47

Always used to say 'Oohh I care' I was a sarcastic little shit.

The mention of rock reminded me we used to say 'I'm rock I am, like eggs you are' I don't know if that was an actual saying or just specific to my group of friends after someone came out with it one time.

*It's just simple;

This is what it means;

AW says; " your a scruffy little slag"
You say; " so is ya mum/mam"
AW says; " you little tramp who ya talking too?"
You say; "ya mum/mam"

Hope that helped ? Lol

Sconner, 80’s derisory insult implying lack of pubic hair, ironic when so many people remove it these days.

FuckKnuckle · 19/08/2018 20:51

Shut yer festerin' gob, you...

If someone is or has been sneaky, we used to say " omg you sneaky little Russian"

Not offending anyone only stating

ItsJustASimpleLine · 19/08/2018 20:52
