What's your favourite non-sweary / semi-sweary insult?

I really enjoy a good creative insult (although don't get me wrong, I also enjoy the huge varieties of ways in which the word 'fuck' can be used in daily life).

As a Scot, I feel we're pretty good at this sort of thing - 'pie' and 'rocket' being two personal favourites. It's amazing how you can make two fairly innocuous words sting just through context / intonation.

What are your favourites?

He's a complete bell end, or he's a complete cock do it for me.

I like "balloon"
To hear my dad shouting this, on the very rare occasion he lost his cool with another driver when he clearly would have preferred to swear his head off, was brilliant Grin

I'd never heard pranny until Friday Night Dinner, the dad says it all the time. I was delighted. "Pair of prannies!"

Complete/absolute/total tulip. Said with venom, it's a great descriptor!

A dangerous person, usually a woman, is a weapon.

ForYouManImADoomBoy · 15/03/2023 23:15

weapon or unit

spadge can be used with venom or with affection

'useless jebend' is deployed under my breath

Ameanstreakamilewide · 15/03/2023 23:18

I like 'gonk'.
