Pretty much anything with "absolute" in front of it gets the message across.

"That bloke's an absolute pancake"

Onanist.

Can be used in (relatively) polite company without sounding sweary and many won't realise the meaning.

Walloper also a favourite.

OP - curious why you're looking for non-mysoginistic insults, but at the same time saying "Throbber" is a great insult. You do know that is referring to a Penis?

Why is one bad, but the other good?

Remember seeing "Trump is an absolute Roaster" at his golf course demonstrations years back, stuck with me.

melt..as in 'what a melt' or 'shut up you ******* melt'.

Come to think of it, the Scotts are the masters at the obscure put-down.

  • Because most of the time a masculine insult is gender appropriate 
  • Because in comedy terms it’s “punching up” rather than “punching down” as generally being a man is a privileged position in society

We are. But our speciality is actually stringing them together into a string of insults that may be directed and the mad radge that knocked your pint that's about to get laid into. Or at best friends as a friendly hello.

I like the more surreal, unexpected ones or insults that manage paint a little picture, I have used/heard in the past:

"...Absolute Jazz-hammer"

"...he/she is a gigantic effort sponge"

"...intellectual equivalent of whispering in a hurricane"

"...Mind like a cotton wool cage"

"...He soars like a breeze block"

"...like arguing with a turnip..."

"...brain full of unicorns and silly string"

"...actually too thick to be embarrassed by their own stupidity..."

"...the brightest spark in this forest fire"

"...the strongest argument I've encountered for eugenics"

"...the strongest argument I've encountered for contraception"

"...I'd happily buy him a pint... of bleach"

Stroker

Cockwomble still takes some beating

A recent addition came courtesy of Nihal on five live

You absolute lunch!

Needs to be said in a Danny Dyer type accent for full effect in the same way that 'gobshite' needs a scouse accent

There is something about the combination of accent and language which multiplies the impact of the put down.

Found out fairly recently that Berk is actually cockney rhyming slang. You'll have to look it up yourself, definitely at risk of the ban-hammer and NSFW.

Belter.

And like throbber can also be prefixed with 'turbo/weapons-grade/uber' to give others an indication of the magnitude of said individual.
