Got called a 'spanner' by a car driver today, made me chuckle as I haven't heard it used as an insult since I was at school.
What other insults do you just not hear these days?
Meff - a classic from the 90's
Spastic (or any other derogatory name for the mentally impaired) which I never liked in the 1st place, and am really glad it fell out of favour (well I assume it has)
'Joey'. Quite rightly, too.
'Tefal'.
I got called a pillock on here the other day. Wassock is another good one
I heard Samuel Pepys wife refer to him as a pricklouse on the radio earlier this week. Don't think it's been in use for a while, but I might try it out this week.
Ur bik R sarcin?
2nd for wassock.
I used to like neck-ache, usually abreviated to just "neck"
Ok, before anyone goes any further - is there an understanding that none of us would actually use any of these insults, and we all agree they're all wrong and should never be used by anyone, ever?
In fact, no, forget it; there's no way I'm going to repeat the childhood insults from a South Yorkshire pit village..!

And not so much an insult but "mmmmm chinner!"
Let Tony enlighten you:

I always liked the "God you are being such a zokes"

Pie eater?
Mong was always a popular one when I was at school. God you are SUCH a mong!

La gauge d'huit in French, I specifically learnt it expecting to use it to shout at stupid French people on holidays, don't really care if it wouldn't have the same impact, but not had the opportunity to shout it so far, I live in hope.

Tosspot !

Ooh Tefal!!!
How i've missed you.
Totally forgot that one.
The apprentices shall be smote/smited/smitten? with the cry "oi, Tefal heid, get the tea".
I've not been called a window licker for quite a while, or a plonker... (Rodney....)
🙂
Hindity mescro. Romany Gypsy word for the Irish. It means dirty people.
Nincompoop
Thou paunchy rough-hewn varlot!
a flesh monger, a fool, and a coward.

Give us minute, i'll get some more.
Dillon, as in you f****n Dillon,
but topped yesterday, when out walking with the misses in the village where she lived until she went to uni,
we bumped into one of her old friends brothers, while talking to him he was reliving how my wife and her best friend Ju, (still her best friend) would turn up at his brothers house after the pubs had kicked out and get his poor brother to make them tea and grub with out offering any kind of favours in return,
He proclaimed on behalf of his brother that my misses was a bit if a 'User',
laughed my nuts off at that as it was the first time I had heard that used since the 80's , classic ammo
Glue-bag was one and a nasty one was 'flid'
I couldn't imagine I'd ever use these now.
shagnasty
Scum.
Chutney ferret.
Valve, +1 for tool.
****?
I thought Loki did quite well in the Avengers movie with 'Mewling Quim'.
From school I remember stig, spoon, spooner, spanner, spam, mong and joey.
DERP, Mrs Toast on Mr Toast's laptop again...
Binner (as in you go through bins for whatever... food, clothes etc)
Bummer (no explanation needed)
Flid
Don March (as in "yer Don March"), which was the ame of the bus company said window lickers boarded.
Pykie
Gypo
Didi (all to do with the travelling fraternity)
Spacker
Spaz
Mongol
Joey
Rem (remedial)
Fuzzbuz (taken from a special needs intervention)
I do not condone any of these - its just a fleeting tumble down memory lane; I used to get called most of them, but the most memorable insults I got called were:
**** (I'm not, but tan very easily + spent most days out on my bmx & quite rightly outlawed)
jai (Tarzan's young boy helper - my skin colour again)
Gypo (we were poor)
Bath Boy (in the Miner's strike, my dad was out, and we were skint. I shared a bath with a mate at their house and somebody found out - it took a while to forgive my parents that one)
I's been a while since someone called me a dildo.........
Gobshite
Spaka
"Bryan" - for some reason, use to be a term of abuse at school indicating somebody stupid
Still call my brother in law a wassock. But I am a Lancastrian and he comes from the wrong side of the hills 😉
dickwad
Not heard "Window licker" for a while
Also, not been called "dick spit" for a few years either.

Div / Div head
Gormless
CHIMP-KNOBBER!
with hindsight, its a bit mean, but we had "stigs" (as in stig of the dump) generally applied to scruffy/dirty/poor kids. Given that 20 years later I rarely shave, never brush my hair and often wear dirty clothes whilst stealing from skips, I guess I'm a stig.
Dip$hit - always a classic
