being at comp in the early 80's some of the insults thrown around back then would be unheard of nowadays thankfully. You had to have tough skin back then as it was all fair game .

I don't like my game with tough skin. Occasionally crispy, but never tough.

There are some English words that are short sharp jabs to the ribs that unfortunately don't travel well to other parts of the world. North Americans love the word wanker and see themselves as "British" when they use it. The irony being it makes them look and sound like wankers when they use it and usually out of context. But other insults like div, git or twat need to be on the list of things you say to wound and not kill.

You prefer more tender birds?

I find prick to be the most hurtful. Feels very dismissive.
Agree, along with a ‘bit of a dick’

Always been a fan of ‘complete twat’

Did anyone watch the Armando Ianucci documentary - there was a guy hired solely to come up with cus words for the Thick of It - they’d hand him a script for him to pepper filth on top.

See I've always taken "bit of a twat/dick/knob/etc" to be the sort of thing you say about that friend before you introduce him to new people - "yeah he's a bit of a knob at first but he's fine once you get used to him".

Whereas any of those with 'fucking' in front is reserved for someone who has committed a minor annoyance (not held a door, ran a light on amber, etc).

Twat/dick/knob are all fine. Terms of endearment event. Prick though, just feels more barbed.

Yeah. I have referred to my brother as a 'daft twat' before, but 'daft prick' does strangely sound harsher. No idea why.

I can't understand why you haven't been given a Moderator role yet. Makes no sense.
