I don’t see the word nobhead so I consider it inaccurate
Why does this read like a pip requirements.txt?
How about “Prick”
Bellend
Lemon
- 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.
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
It’s an excellent word, a favourite of mine
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?
Thank you, Only Fools and Horses, for introducing me to plonker and wally!
Maybe they didn’t know the origin of berk (Berkeley Hunt in Cockney rhyming slang)…
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
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.
What melt made this list?
Would knobhead be without cursing? From my understanding, “knob” is basically the same as “dick.”
A wizard’s staff has a knob on the end
Knobhead is a mild swearword. Although knob means penis, it’s one of the milder words for it (maybe one step worse than “willy” or “todger”).
Note that wazzock, pillock, dipstick and plonker are all, at some place and point in time, also words for penis.
I prefer ‘helmet’ myself.
or bellend, haven’t hear that in a while though

Isn’t knob the one on the doors?
Yeah, I wouldn’t allow it, personally. I find it’s a bit of a weird one, like “pussy” - i.e. ruder than it should be, given that you can read the word in children’s books.
