Has a pillock ever called you a snollygoster?

If some scallywag called me that, I’d right pepper his porridge, I would!

Can we call a Trump supporter a Mumpsimus?

And are a bunch of them, like the lickspittle mooncalfs down in Florida yesterday, called a Mumpsimi or a Mumpsimusi?

I’ve been called a smiling mandarin, when I was in my early teens.
At the time I felt hurt by it, because of who addressed it to me, and the ridiculing manner he did so.
Later I started to embrace it, because I realized that he couldn’t stand the fact that I was always positive (maybe somewhat naive), and that my smile rarely left my face.

I thought you had to be dead and haunting someone to be a snollygoster (schnelle Geister, as I recall; Pennsylvania Dutch, maybe?). Maybe its use has evolved since I read that.

I’d go with “vile miscreant” if I had to insult someone on short notice. If I had a little prep time, I might resort to Shakespeare, who had a trove of them.

Trump’s stupid tweet about the Brexit referendum result in Scotland caused a reaction

@flutherother

Thanks for posting the link to those excellent insults!

Not to my face!!!

I have met a few cockolorums but at the time I didn’t have an appropriate word to call them!!!

_They certainly are excellent insults @flutherother _

The SO’s mum once told me that I was a flibbertigibbet.

^^^ I hope you replied with “Thank you”

@LadyMarissa Yes, although I had to look up the definition afterwards.
