What’s the worse thing someone has called you?

I was explaining to my adult DD that I was once called a Jezebel by a group of giggling girls. No idea why, I’m not alluring or sexually provocative in any way. Strangely, I felt quite defensive, like I want to snort ‘no I am not’.

Someone also said I was two faced which I thought was ironic as I’m usually told I’m too blunt and honest.

My mother used to call me a slut all the time, usually for terrible infractions like leaving my socks on the floor or having a cup in my bedroom.

A Tory.
I was throwing a guy out the pub and he said You're nothing but a fucking Tory.
Being Scottish it's a sore insult 🤣

My uncle said that to me more than 15 years ago when I couldn’t give him another cigarette. I was a student and he worked but counted his pauowvket in pints and fags.

This doesn't sound bad on the face of it but my ex husband called me a "lazy cow" which upset me at the time so much as I worked full time and evenings to financially support him through university. I paid every household bill etc and was called lazy because his dinner wasn't ready on time for him more than once one week!
(This was the early 1970's for context)

A lazy cunt by my ex h ( he was cocklodger material)
When I divorced him, he called me “a miserable old hag who no other man will want”
I met my new partner soon after and happy for 7 years now. Ex is still on his own.

Based on the way Carroll wrote it, I always thought slithy was an adjective and toves was a noun, not that toves was a verb and slithy was a noun. Did you happen to see a white rabbit or a bottle saying, “Drink me”?

No but I saw a massive toadstool and the queen of hearts. Looked nothing like Lady Di ! : ( What a day!

A 'fat scrounger' in a text message to a friend of mine.

He was trying to go non contact with his mother and her response was a vile text mostly criticising my friend, but she had to have a go at me.

"I hope you get raped" by a customer years ago. I cannot remember what I refused him. Another customer "I hope you never have children and if you do I hope they die" by another customer. She was upset I wouldn't give her access her deceased sons mobile phone account without a death certificate.

Quite recently I was walking to the shop with my daughter and her friend (both black, which is relevant) and a man shouted from a van that I was a N loving C with rat children and my F C was full of N* diseases.
Luckily the children were too busy talking to each other to hear.

I've been called a lot of horrible things but that really shocked me.

Mydogisagentleman · 29/12/2025 10:20

Cross eyed pair of knickers.
Nothing like some of the previous evil ones

Ex used to constantly call me ‘a bad egg’. He said it that often I started to believe it .

I would really recommend you not take the M1 again. Sounds quite dangerous 😂

The owl and the pussy-cat went to sea on the M1, in a beautiful sea-green boat Fiat 500.

I was told “you are one of the nastiest bastards I’ve ever known”.

I responded “one of? I’ll try harder next time”.

They deserved everything they got.

On holiday with Dh's friend and his (rather high maintenance) wife, during a VERY convivial evening with other guests in the hotel bar, her Dh asked if he could have one of my cigarettes. She went crazy, called me an "evil fucking bitch, who was trying to kill her husband and prevent her ever having children" Then she chased him down the path brandishing her stilettos and threw his clothes out of the hotel room window. We avoided them the next day, but she did apologise.

Ha ha. Actually it was a clapped out Land Rover Defender and it was Coniston
green but faded so close to pea green. : )

That is superb 🤣

Surely she meant a nazi collaborator caught by the resistance though?

I think she must have meant one of those young French women who went out with Nazis and had their heads shaved once the war was over.

Once called homophobic. I was walking through a park near to a college at about 4pm. I was walking past a group of students when one walked alongside me telling me he was gay. It was so random I didn’t even think he was talking to me so I didn’t respond and then he shouted in my ear that I must hate gay people and I was homophobic then he turned around and walked back to his friends.

At a house party aged 32. Newly divorced. Chatting to a girl and her bf came over - he said ‘you are the ugliest woman I have ever met’…. I felt like I had been shot
a few months later I met the present Mr Fart… and after 28 years he still tells me I am beautiful and the love of his life.

My mum used to call me a 'hex', a 'Jonah' and a bad luck omen. Well, thank you very much for that. I was 13 and she screamed it in my face.

SqishySqashmas · 26/01/2026 20:56

Not a name, but my arsehole neighbour 'accused' me of being menopausal when I dared to stand up to him. To be fair, I was early 40s, however I definitely just shouted at him because he is a such massive fucking arsehole and he really, Really, REALLY pissed me off. We don't talk to each other now.

I am sorry. I had a similar mother so I understand
