I don’t see the word nobhead so I consider it inaccurate
Why does this read like a pip requirements.txt?
Bellend
- Melt
- Helmet
- Weapon
- Prat
- Git
- Gimboid/Smeghead
- Divvy
- Pudding
- Bute
- Nincompoop
- Twunt
Are some others. The first three are personal favourites.
Pudding is an insult?
Yep. I don’t think it would work if you pronounced the ‘g’, though. You great puddin, ye. Bit old fashioned but it checks out.
Maybe they didn’t know the origin of berk (Berkeley Hunt in Cockney rhyming slang)…
Irish list if you want to take it from us like you took everything else from us
- Gom : mostly harmless fool
- Pleidhce (ply-kah) : unserious fool
- Eejit : idiot, but nice
- Jackeen : a waver of miniature union jacks
- Gom(b)ee(n) : a mostly harmless fool who is also small either in stature or importance.
- Mog: a backwards gom
- Headwreck : annoying, frustrating
- The Notions on him/her/them/etc : someone with a grand personal image
- Gowl : (a junction, specifically that between your legs)
- Langer (long story, TLDR don’t shoot monkeys)
Edit: Lemmy markdown doesn’t let you count down but as a lazy half-arsed Irish stereotype I’m not fixing it
Is it the Scots that often say “you absolute gowl” or do they use a similar word to that?
I haven’t heard of that but given that Scottish Gaelic is pretty much just a dialect of Gaeilge, it’s possible. Although as an insult its more common in Munster which is at the least-related end of the dialect scale from Scottish.
How about “Prick”
Pillock and plonker are rude, meaning cock either way, but it’s kind of archaic and lost the emphasis. Berk on the other hand is full on rude, but used lightly compared to its direct translation from rhyming slang
Prat Div Twit Twerp Smeghead
Are some other mild ones that I don’t really hear anymore
TIL that wazzock is a British word. I’ve only heard it as a Dwarfish word in Warhammer universe.
Warhammer is made by a British company headquartered in Nottingham, where wazzock is a common local phrase that is believed to have originated a bit further north
Now I’m Im curious if any other words from this list https://whfb.lexicanum.com/wiki/Khazalid_lexicon are actually British English words?
Skree or scree is a real word for loose rocks on the side of a hill.
Also grim to describe harsh, we would say “its grim up north”.
The rest are quite possibly a mix of old english/norse and also seems like there might be some asiatic in there like “kuri”
On that list i’d say chuff, git and skruff
It’s an excellent word, a favourite of mine
Thank you, Only Fools and Horses, for introducing me to plonker and wally!
Rodney you plonker!
Is dipstick a british thing? I’ve heard it plenty in america. The rest are definitely foreign to me.
Came in to say the same thing. Dipstick is probably the first insult I learned.
Lemon
Could have included git as well.
Unfortunately this list is proprietary.
What melt made this list?
