Long forgotten insults from my youth!

[MarklesMerkin]

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

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

Nitwit, or just nit, is due for a revival, I think. "You steaming nit!" Antonia Forest?

Bawbag, muppet

Rough dog (that's just one of many names I was called at comp school)

Eat shit

Slag

We used to call people a joey. As in joey deacon. People of a certain age will prob remember that one. Very un PC

Calling someone a 'Sharon', to mean Chav was popular in my school at one point.

Yer da sells avon

If someone did something wrong or a bit silly, it was important to say “ha, take the shame” in a witty manner.

My contemporaries also had conversations like this:

“uh-wer what you gawming at?”
“Don’t know, they don’t label shit.”

Pure Oscar Wilde where I grew up (Nottingham).

Oh my Nan used to call you a "imbecile "

Say you knocked something over or done something wrong!

She would say " you imbecile " ( in a slightly posh voice

Muppet , numty is what I use casually now

Singing I do love a Glaswegian insult

"Tesco, Tesco, where FBG gets her best clothes"

Some these make me laugh.

@Markles unfortunately my sister told my children about it. So they have already started with the code names. They don't like the exes family and having started referring to them in code. Argh.....

Whatever
Talk to the hand
Nimcompoop and nimcompoopery

This is a good list:www.anglotopia.net/anglophilia/british-english-the-top-50-most-beautiful-british-insults/

I haven’t a clue what ‘yer da sells Avon’ would have meant but it’s got a certain something for sure.

Puppet monkey;

That made me laugh, the one where it says " don't label dog shit"...🤣

I haven't heard that in years!...🤣

For your first one, we used to say "ha ha do your rip!"

My daughter (8) said to me about 3/4 months ago (giggling) " you own dad" me; "I own dad?..what do you mean?" Daughter; "like he will say something to be clever/sarcastic and then you just come back and own him and dad just shuts up"....me; "oh I see , so that is what you kids call it"

Owned you?......does any one else's kids call it that ? Or just here in the North East?

Yup owned or more common pwned which the geekier version

Yes yes to Bellend. One of the best school insults I remember

My ds says "he got owned" (or whoever did!)

It is when someone outwits the other.

Although he's also ever so funny because if I get him he'll say "awww Mum, you owned me" with a sad voice

We used smeghead a lot.

Also sang the 'your mother shops at Tesco' rhyme quite a bit, which I find funny these days as people buy supermarket clothes a lot more often now!

We had "shame on your batty coz your batty got whooped".

God only knows who came up with that

Most of the insults from my youth are correctly enough politically incorrect these days.

However one insult we bandied about a lot was SINEP.....we thought we were oh so clever

Spamhead
Teabag - English people
Bubble - Greeks (Bubble n squeak = Greek)

Don't touch what you can't afford!!

Up yours!!

Spin on that! (While holding up middle finger)

Baw bag. Dick. Arse. Ya fud. But never around parents!

Durbrain too
Suffer the dread
As if...
