Excellent insults that have fallen out of fashion / you don’t hear anymore…

Twerp
Berk

I want to teach my 10 and 13 year olds some ‘funny’ insults from back in the day - any others that need resurrecting??

A face only a mother could love

Wassock

"Div" (80s)
"Dweeb" (90s)

My father uses "wassock" a lot. I like "Spanner".

Daft ha'porth

Spoon (Scotland, late 80s)

I'd look up the origin of berk before you teach them that one OP 😅

Do you think your DC would appreciate the rhyming slang for Berk - Berkshire Hunt rhymes with ….

Plum and Pleb.

A friend of mine uses 'doorknob'. I love that.

I love 'Berk '😂 I think my mum called me it many -a-time (back in the 90s when mothers loved hurling a low level insult ! 😅)

Boffin/boff

Tool

Home-slice, 80s for girls that weren’t pretty. I was a homeslice.

Ragamuffin

Not heard this for years. Classic

Dolt

Rat bag

Nitwit

Little scroat

Nincompoop. My nan used to say that a lot

One of my Mum's "she's a face'd stand clogging" meaning the person in question could be hit in the face with a clog and wouldn't look any different.
