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!

Some of them names have really made me laugh, We said
Pleb ,
Bogey ( as in your as wanted / usefull as a bogey )
Slap head

We would have
Ur ma
Ur da
Fruit
Dickhead
Ballbag
Eijit
Muppet
Bellend
Knob

Alaballa
Sussed
Snared
Chinny reckon ( with action )
Dickhead ( with action )

I’d forgotten

Slap head
Spam (whilst slapping someone’s forehead)
Slapper
Moron
Dick splash
Pleb

I believe “Beige” was an insult at some point.

wench

ooooh itchy chin

Hallion (usually preceded by “lazy”)
Spoon
Tube
Spide/Steek/Millie
Slabber (usually preceded by “dirty wee”)
Rare

Diiiiiiiiiime Bar....said like that. If someone was a bit stupid. Or Gaylord, for the same reason!

The main ones I remember make me feel uncomfortable that we used them so freely including the actual name of a person with cerebral palsy that appeared on Blue Peter in 1981.

Not an insult but a deeply witty response to one:

Insult: You cow

Response: Cow's eat grass. Grass is nature. Nature is beautiful - so thank you for the compliment.

We used to chant this all the time at each other.

Skank
Scrubber
Mole
Mutt
Rat

Reject- 20 years later if i walk past a Reject Shop with one of my sisters one of us will always nudge the other and say 'look its your shop'

Plinth!

That was a sibling one

My gran would say about people she didn't like... She/he has a face only a mother could love!!!
Or
He/she has a face that would curdle milk!!!!

She was such a quite woman but would come out with some great saying and would say them with a complete straight face!!! 🤣

With looks like that he would best be a radio presenter!

Female chavs were Sharon and male chavs were Trevor in our school. Long after both names were common.

And telling folk to ‘swivel’

I was regularly called a minger or fugly.

Your mum was the biggest insult the boys could say to each other.

Oh, and “yer ma’s yer da” - maybe that’s the NI version of “your ma”. (What is it about mothers that they get all the insults?!)

Oh, and “yer ma’s yer da” - maybe that’s the NI version of “your ma”. (What is it about mothers that they get all the insults?!)

Not always mothers, wasn’t there the recent insult of “your da sells Avon” lol

dislocated drainpipe!!

"Yer maws got baws and yer da loves it"

A good way to insult both parents in one go.

Oh yeah - sit and spin, while giving the middle finger.

Face for radio

BOBFOC (body off baywatch, face off crimewatch) - regularly use this one!

Also have recently introduced DS & DD to itchy-beard/chinny-reckon/Tuten-Khaamoooon (whilst stroking chin, if you think fibs are being told). Waiting for it to come back into popular use in primary school...

Away and boil yer heid ya radge!
