Insults you just don't hear that often anymore.

Not heard “Window licker” for a while

Also, not been called “dick spit” for a few years either.

Gay, as in that’s a bit gay

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

Nob jockey
Half wit

Anyone remember ‘Dime Bar’ said in a voice that hinted at possible mental handicap?

Maybe it was a Surrey thing, I recall all mention of Dime Bars (in whatever context) being banned at school as a result of this. Well, drugs and knives hadn’t been invented in Cobham in 1990 so they had to worry about something.

Douche Bag – emsz you beat me too it. i use this daily.

Cant beat my favourite – Dick fingers

Tube.
Most effective in a broad Scots accent where it sounds a bit more like chooob.

Still a favourite of mine, but don’t get to use it that often.

I remember ‘dime bar’ from boarding school (which was in Surrey) but it wasn’t banned.

Not verbal abuse I admit but you couldn’t beat a good nipple cripple, wedgie or dead leg to cause unnecessary pain.

Although a favourite at our school (think it ended up being immediate detention if caught) was the tango where you slapped someone as hard as you could with both hands whilst shouting said fizzy drinks name.

What was the phrase used when you got the end of a fag wet, was it bum licker?

Bum suck!

beef curtains

Bum rash! Classic.

Tal

But I was young when there were quite a lot of Thalidomide victims growing up.

Numpty

Pigeon,
Flid,
B-tec, after the post school qualification taken by the dimmer kids!
And dimebar was also about in Shropshire. Blame Harry Enfield(i think)and the way he said it on the advert.

This thread is starting to look like the Tourette’s syndrome support group forum! Wash your mouth out, the lot of yer!

Edit: Arsewipe & dicksplash where my faves, back in the day.

Joey.

Playing football a couple of weeks back, one of our players took a shot that ballooned over the bar.
Our midfielder shouted “For **** sake, you f**king Flid, what the **** were you trying there.”
Hadn’t heard the word “flid” since school over 20 years ago.
All of our team, and the opposition sniggered.

Wally!

Noone is either accused of being, or wearing a “dobber” nowdays- unless in the aussie sense, and that’s a wholly different situation…

It’s ages since I’ve called anyone a mongo. That’s tomorrow’s goal set.

Wankstain

Kirkby Sock Robber!

Specific to people from Kirkby …. Obviously

@sooty – welcome back, its been a while!

You plonker Rodney

Haven’t heard “twerp” for ages. Also used to hear “pillock”, “wassock” and “div” alot.

cad or bounder you don’t hear very often (i’m presuming those were put downs back in the days of highwaymen/3 musketeers e.t.c 😉

Dawson – Thanks, yes it has been a long while.

A very specific to my school insult was ‘Foundie’. Kids on scholarships (such as myself) were called ‘Foundationers’ after the school foundation that awarded them.

We have a guy in work we call ‘Thrush’
He thinks it’s coz he’s a bit of a bird watcher……… but really it’s because he’s an irritating c**t!

Our were all very politically correct:

the usual – flid
mojo or just mo (I belive this derived from homosexual)

and the classic:

biff (spina bifida hey! Hilarious!)

C**T is a regular insult between my friends but when I asked if I could wear my 661 Evo pads for 5-a-side last week I was called a “turnip”.

Was genuinely offended.
