I've been living in Dublin 10 years, and I really resent a smartarse jackeen type not saying this to me on at least one occasion.

Most of the Beavis and Butthead era insults have disappeared:

douchenozzle
dweeb
butt knocker
turd burgler
ass goblin

We thought those summers would never end.

that's how it's pronounced - you're not reading enough Victorian melodrama.

Ha! Once, flathunting in Dublin as a young one from beyond the Pale, I was given directions to the North Strand Road which included passing "the five lamps." Spent ages going around in an embarrassed circle wondering why everyone I asked was creasing themselves.

A friend of mine from Kildare uses the word "Stook", as in "you're a stook" (rhymes with "Luke"), which I'm quite positive is an entirely made up word of her own devising.

Oh yes. "thundering" amplifies any insult. In fact, without "thundering" or "ferocious", you're really only slagging.

Indeed, when someone called someone a name we all laughed but when thundering was inserted, they meant bidness

Yeah thundering isn't used before names much anymore.

Do you know that Cearbhall O Dalaigh resigned as President after the Defence Minister of the day Paddy Donegan called him a 'thundering disgrace'.

I'm filing that away in my "I'm off my face and talking shìte" folder!

One WTF insult that stays with me 20 odd years later and I've only ever heard it once, was "Ahh you ould fart of a bastard!!".

Thanks mam!

Well I remember well when 'Spa' was the usual insult thrown at anybody and everybody back in my school days!
(Spa being the abbreviation of Spastic) So I guess 'Spa' is outlawed in schools these days, along with cripple & retard?

Hopefully all those insults are long gone, and they were shocking when you think about them now . . . . .

theyre not long gone.
retard in particular is still used and widely accepted,not just on forums like boards but in mainstream programming to,even when there has been major complaints put in [am not one of them because hadnt watched the prog] and mencap intefered; channels have still ignored it.
it isnt about PCness.
its not only about the deep conotations and history that is attached to it,its also about the disablist attitudes atached to this word and us, that heavily creeped into europe in the mid nineties onwards due to its overuse on southpark.
re.'retard'.... those of us with intelectual disability are used as a wholly negative, drooling useless 'thick' example that people use for comparing non disabled people with, in almost all cases people use they will never find an intelectualy disabled person doing such behaviors or acts.

our disability is seen in a very negative way because of these labels,and the rampant disablism that is still moraly accepted and used by people,as well as the way society is attached to creating hierarchies of so called inteligence.
we are not the opposite to those assessed on the genious end of the scale, we have a disability in all forms of processing which has a knock on effect how we learn,percieve and function,however most of us have strengths in things, such as an interest.


as for crip,it refers to physicaly disabled people,many have actualy been taking back the word for years.
with spastic/spacker/spa/spaz,they are all slang/shortenings of spasticated muscles; which is asociated with CP,it is still a medical term for the muscle issue as not all people with the problem have CP,most do though.
calling non disabled people a slur or term from disability is disablist and derogatory and it shows more about the attitudes of the individual saying it; and the fact they are able to recognise the long term damage caused by homophobic slurs and racism but not with the most vulnerable group.

Dipsh*t. Haven't heard that in years.

Czarcasm

Just remembered another one, sorry, two, from my secondary school days-


"son of a thousand fathers"

and the insult that was like calling Marty McFly "chicken" -

"àrse bandit"


I went to an all boys school.

Langer banger... Ha ha, the good old days...

discus

Northsider, Dubliner, Irishman, there's a few I haven't had cause to use in a while.

KungPao

Not an insult and almost completely unrelated to the topic...but I wish people would say "the business" more!

"Ah man, that kebab was the business".

I miss the '80s.

discus

"The business" That's still used all the time in England.
