So much swearing in this thread. You bunch of cunts.
Only joking, it's great here.

Here follows some of the more pertinent:
Twit
Wazzock
Dipstick
Berk
Nitwit
Rotter
Pillock
Toad
Dafty
Twerp
Rapscallion
Pranny
Rat -bag
Toe rag

I don't even know what most of these even mean to use. Half the time Sam post something I have to look up my book on English to English translation.

Yeah man, I love George Carlin. And Bill Hicks, you guys produced some excellent comedians.
Ratbag is a favourite at home. Once, when we were out with the children, young Master Therapy proudly announced to everyone in earshot, "We're a pair of little Ratbags".
Plum and lemon are used a lot as general terms of derision. "Daddy, you plum" is often heard at Chez Therapy. Fiddlesticks! and For Five Minutes! are pretty good for letting off steam.
BTW, Berk, is a shortened rhyming slang - remember that discussion? - for Berkshire Hunt. I'm sure you can work out that one. An example of mutated rhyming slang is Aris, short for Aristotle, rhyming slang for bottle, shortened from Bottle and Glass (pronounced in the London way "Glarse"), rhyming slang for arse.
According to my dictionary, rhyming slang was also used in Australia and New Zealand but is now obsolete. Dunno if that's true but the few Aussies I've spoken to have never heard of it.

So this would be like Ebonics is here in the colonies?
I love it!
I was watching some 'ooligan films lately and noted the Cockney names:
Dry Lunch
Muppet
Prat
Mug
Brits also like taking the piss out of faces a lot:
A boat (boat-race=face) like a bucket of smashed crabs.
You look like you've been apple bobbin in chip fat.
You got a face that looks like it should be on a Toby Jug.
When god was handing out looks you thought he said books and asked for a horror.
Don't know why but this reminds me of listen to my wife read the Gruffalo book to my son in Scots.

Well I didn't know that. AND I live in Berkshire!
I cannot tell you how many times that I've watched this. It's simply amazeballs!
