There are some swears that were very popular 70's that have made a resurgence with the younger members of our family and youngsters in general (the U21s). Not very PC now so not going to type them. I doubt they know their original context though.
From my 14 year old daughter – 'goon'
Heidthebaw is one of my favourites.
Loving gripper though
Belter
Oh! As a southerner up north around the turn of the century, I thought an associate from Newcastle was using belter meaning awesome. I never picked it up so possibly avoided some misunderstandings there!
@sorromj isn’t the fact that almost all meaning in English is contextual great?
Mouth Breather...
Throbber
Stroker
Jizz trumpet
Bawbag
**** bag
Useless bag of tepid semi congealed manfat
He's as much use as tits on a fish

Bounder
Doyle
Ass hat

A complete muppet.
Fannybaws
Bawbag (A friendly greeting, as in; 'Awright ya wee bawbag')
Smoker.
As in c*** smoker

@sirromj it does mean that, not sure where it doesn't.
Doesn't fit the criteria but fud is a good one.
Rocket does.
As does banger.
Always makes me cringe when someone says "that's an absolute banger". Aye, ye ur.
Always makes me cringe when someone says “that’s an absolute banger”.
I associate the word "banger" with Radio 1 DJs who are older than they think they are, still trying to relate to the Youth Of Today before playing some absolutely toss music.
Tool is one of my favourites
Trumpet
Dipstick
Rupert
Zoomer
Fud
Cock socket is another
Ring peice
Dangleberry
Flaming Galah
Spoon
Tungsten dirigible
Numpty.
Cock socket is another
means somebody who receives cock, unfortunately therefore either misogynistic or homophobic
Smoker.
As in c*** smoker
same thing, other end
means somebody who receives cock, unfortunately therefore either misogynistic or homophobic
Or somewhere you would insert a cock.
Are we allowed to call them a fleshlight instead?
Cock womble
Balloon
Whallopper

I don't make the rules, I got slagged off for using the term 'pole smoker' so I'm just passing along the joy.
Fleshlight is good, like it.
Gloyt, tis an old one from school days
Flute
Fud, was used frequently in my younger days.
**** off ya fud. Quite sure it means idiot.
I tend to associate the word belter with something being awesome. From the North West.
Not non-misogynistic unfortunately but 'She's one of those who's all nylon stockings and no breakfast' made me laugh this morning.
(Re Throbber, that sounds right, but I maintain 'throb' and 'thrum' should be pronounced with the same voiced 'th' sound as 'there' or 'then', and spelt 'dhrob' and 'dhrum').
Thunder as a pre fix. Works particularly well with the "C" word.
Fannybaws is my particular favourite.
As a Scottish Air traffic controller (and ex squaddie), I have many abusive terms in my vocabulary which are best not transmitted over the RT but are used very often.
Twunt
Loving "Jazz Hammer".
Yeah, a belter or a banger, to me is a refrence to a really good song, in the context of dance/techno.
But it's all about context... It would be wrong to call someones mother a 'banger'... that might start a fight!
Radge
Rocket
then some older ones that really need to be used more
<br />Poltroon

One of my favourites to shout at idiots in cars is " thrombus" It means bloody clot but it doesn't half confuse folk 🙂 Or sometimes " hope yer next crap is a pineapple"
some belters here

I also like calling someone a "Twazzle" now and then, it obviously puts the listener in mind of "T**t" but isn't technically a naughty word. They know what you meant, but you didn't actually say it, wonderfully frustrating for anyone looking to be offended...
Horse's Arse
Sometimes poshed-up by my Edinburgh correspondent as "You are the anus of Dobbin"
Dobber
As in, beat it ya dobber
