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

This is the thread I never knew I needed.

I think this was a slur on disabled children in their special school buses years ago.

Fucknugget
Goon
Spiv (had to explain that one at work - that was a awkward conversation

These excellent Australian expressions won't have fallen out of fashion in the UK because they were never in. But...

My son says "son of a dingleberry" but I don't know where he's heard that from.

My dad is a fan of ‘titbonce’.

Spanner

Waves to my fellow Pompey people!

We used both spoon and spanner in lancs in the late 80's

And my late Granny referred to my gay pal as “a little light on his loafers”. That one has stuck!

You big Jessy!

Showing my age here, but we sometimes said that somebody was two Green Shield stamps short of a pop-up toaster.

Face like a melted welly or face like a brick wall

Lol... we had "he was hit with the ugly stick" (pause) "on multiple occasions"

My scouse ex called people a spanner, div and twonk.

Soppy date
