I've already ran the gamut on jokes about Dicks.

Everything in Blackadder

Once they've got that, move on to Malcolm Tucker level insults

Tried to explain why 'Bob' was funny to them last week and they weren't having any of it.

[-] essellburns@beehaw.org 2 points 9 months ago

Jeremy Clarkson (RIP) once talked through the humour of Bob with Rowan Atkinson. It was a good explanation.

Wanker is solid. Ballbag, a personal favourite Bellend, but you may have that already. Shitebag, Scottish one Useless as a chocolate teapot

[-] hades@lemm.ee 5 points 9 months ago

My personal favourite is "blithering idiot".

Fuckwit is a traditional insult that I have found is often quickly taken into new arrivals hearts. My guess is, this is because it unites two words with very old IndoEuropean roots.

I think minger is pretty evocative

I was in Malaysia once and a got chatting to a guy who didn't have the best English. He asked me for another way to say "I'm only joking" and I taught him to say "I'm only having a giraffe", which he managed in broken English ("Having a jee raff") I hope one day he says that to an Englishman and confuses him thoroughly.

I'm having a Steffi. I'm having a bubble.

[-] Flyberius@hexbear.net 2 points 9 months ago

What do you mean? Having a jee raff honestly sounds perfect. I'll be in Malaysia in February so I'll teach that one to some locals. Also, having a gazebo.

[-] GiveOver@feddit.uk 3 points 9 months ago

It's hard to put into text but the emphasis was on the ee. It was all wrong. But it made it so much better.

Numpty, plonker, twat, div, pratt

"Cockwomble" definitely gives off the impression of having looked up how to sound like a Brit on the internet! Big fan of smeghead though.

Introduce them to the Muppets.

The use of "You Muppet(s)!" is one of my favourites.

(It effectively means "Adorable/endearing idiot")

[-] cafeinux@infosec.pub 2 points 9 months ago

I feel like if Peter Capaldi called me a Muppet I would not take it as "adorable" and more like "twat".

[-] Hundun@beehaw.org 3 points 9 months ago

I hope to get a British person to call me a knob one day.

Good luck with that, you bellend.
