Regional insults

[CharliesAngles]

What's your favourite?

I love the word mardy.
I love shut your cake hole.

What can I add to broaden my repertoire?

We need a Glaswegian really...so many special insults, all said in an accent and manner which only adds to the ridiculousness and weight of insult in equal measure.

Yer bum's oot the windae
Bampot
Ya fanny
Ya bawbag
Numpty
Lavvy heid
Ya clipe
Ya jobby
Walloper
Ya a face like a skelpit arse

(etc)

When I was at school, many years ago now, I'm sorry to say that unattractive girls were known as dogs, hounds or mallets. Apologies, it's true. (West Yorkshire, BTW).

Another one with "Hadaway an' shite"...can mean to go away/bugger off but also an expression of disbelief

"He's a friggin' right radgie gadgie" = Gosh that man is rather cross/angry

And yes...we say charva rather than chav or even better "scratter"

And also "sackless " = gormless

I like calling someone "bold", I know it's not really an insult but my Irish friends use it a lot about erm, shall we say, "spirited" children 😂

Politely, it means, "That's nonsense!" Less politely, "Don't be so fucking stupid."

We use these in NI:

Eejit and buck eejit
Melter
Hallion
Skitter as in ‘cheeky wee skitter’
Ballix as in ‘cheeky wee ballix’ - we use cheeky and wee together a lot😅
Yer head’s cut (ie you’re being stupid/ridiculous)
Ya hoor ye - as in whore, used to insult men or women but not as awful as it might sound. It’s humorous. You’d say it to a friend in jest

Absolute shower

Doyle - idiot
Radgie - overactive idiot
Shithouse - repulsive idiot

There's a firm of Solicitors in Newcastle, Hadaway & Hadaway.

And

Ee, the dorty scuffer!

‘Bogan’ is a good Australian insult, I remember my Aussie friend using it and had not heard it for years until I watched the last series of Married at First Sight Australia

@CharliesAngles my mother used to use bold for the same meaning.
Also "forward" meant the same as bold.

My Englush XMiL once described my daughter as forward. I was horrified because I thought she was well behaved but to her forward meant advanced for her age

I dated a Scottish guy once ( Glaswegian ) he often used to say ‘ ay, get to fuck’ which to this day still makes me laugh . I assume it’s just a roundabout way of saying fuck off

Can be both. As in that cunt’s a cunt.

@bugalugs45 We once saw a policeman apprehending a man in central Glasgow. In order to get an interfering bystander out of the way he pointed and shouted "You - get tae fuck"

Made my day!

Brilliant! I was going to write ‘ tae ‘ but wasn’t sure I’d have spelt it correctly 🤣

Ne Scotland
You glaikit insert expletive of choice.
Stupid person.

I'm pleased that I now know the meanings of 'hadaway n shite'. I'm not aware of West Yorkshire having any similar vernacular insults, rather it tends to be plain speaking round here which can be interpreted anywhere between polite and abrasive. For example, I'm more likely to say 'Give over yer daft bugger' rather than 'Go fuck yourself'. Usually.

“It’s like throwing a sausage up Briggate”

@TheTecknician Hearing the phrase "Give over" gives me the fear!
We had horrible neighbours from Yorkshire and if anyone spoke to them all they'd say was "Give over" repeatedly over what you were saying.

On behalf of these peasants, I apologise unreservedly. We're not all like that.

Dolali twp. Sort of translates to some being stupid or mad. Cardiff area.

S/he's a dose
Catch yersel' on (this can convey absolute disgust when said with the right expression and tone of voice)
When referring to someone who's a bit of an eejit, 'there's wiser eating grass'
Starting a sentence with 'no harm to ye/her/him...' (generally followed by a 'but' and an insult 😄)

DH is from central Scotland and one he uses is
"HE doesnae zip all the way up the back".
