Sometimes we are all guilty of relying heavily on over-used insults when we want to berate somebody. 'Arsehole', 'Dickhead', etc... using insults such as these puts you in a bad light. Passers-by will consider you to be ill-educated and of little brain.
What we need is a database of insults that
are archaic or have an unusual ring. It will increase our vocabulary and turn the business of insulting your fellow man into something more palatable.
I suggest the following standard insults to begin the database, but please feel free to add more unusual insults from particular vernaculars or time periods (possibly with a brief explanation if they are exceptionally obscure).
Ahem...
Ninnyhammer. Blaggard. Wanksplash. Nonce. Ponce. Pretty Fellow. Chowderhead. Noodledick. Fanny. Witch. Winnit.

Watch out kpx. You're straying dangerously close to resurrecting the halfbakery:words category. It can only be a matter of time before you get juttarised. |

If a noodledick and a ninnyhammer insult each other, would they be considered winnits? |

archean insults... stromatolite! cyanobacteria! |
|

Thou pusillanimous, vacillating paramoecium! |
|

You toffee-nosed, malodorous pervert! |

//Fanny. Witch. Winnit. // |

You mean to tell me that WinNT was just a typo all these years? Actually, that does explain a few things... |

Sticks and stones can break your bones, but words will hurt you forever. Moving into the 21st century, a more sophisticated system is needed, a system based on symbols that register the desired insults, symbols that are quick and easy to type primarily, yet still deliver the intended sting.. |
