    You could go full British. “You absolute/complete/total (any noun)”

    You absolute sponge.

    You complete brick.

    You total signpost.

    Its all in the delivery. Say it with enough malice and anything is an insult.

    Call someone sticky, and dont use it like an insult say it like you are being genuine. If they try to hand you something shy away and be like “oh um no I’m sorry, you’re just kinda sticky” garentee that’ll leave a mark

      People in the small-town South don’t take it well when you call them sister-fuckers, either, as I quickly learned.

      Didn’t stop me, though.

      Yeah, I say cunt a lot as an American. My mom hates it which is at least partially why I love it. Shit cunt is my favorite variation.

      In America, it is a harsh term for the vagina. As a gendered term, it would be considered a slur. For some reason, “pussy” is more acceptable but carries the same connotations. The latter is used to describe a coward, while the former would be more akin to “bitch.”

        I mean, it can be, but there are also other ways to use the term. It also is the only word in English that refers to the whole gentalia, not just the vagina or some other part. Gee I wonder why the word for female genatalia is considered dirty to a bunch of puritanical Americans. Reclaim it.

              Yeah, you’re right. Every definition I can find for cunt is either vulva or vagina, but none say it refers to both. I think it’s just used interchangeably for both. I think the only term that refers to everything would be “female reproductive organs” and “female genitalia”, but that does include things like the uterus and the ovaries that both vulva and vagina (and therefore cunt), don’t include. I could certainly be wrong though.

    Niggard/niggardly sounds like a really, really, awful choice for a word to describe someone cheap like Scrooge. It’s not a slur it just sounds way too much like one. The use of the word is controversial despite the only connection the two words share is how they sound.

    I wouldn’t use the word around people though. Explaining how a word that sounds racist isn’t racist makes you appear to be more racist. It isn’t a slur but gets treated as if it was one.

    ✓ quite offensive

    ✓ not a slur

    X you probably still shouldn’t use it

    I like calling people inanimate objects. Being angrily called a “fucking waffle” or a “God damned acorn” hits different than the normal curses and slurs

    As an Australian, I would like to introduce you to a word more offensive than “fuck” while just as versatile, and that is “Cunt”.

        Yeah nah. Do you go to the servo for smoko? Ever get some dim sims from the fish and chippery? Ever chuff down durries, while eyeing up some ranga chick squeezing dead horse on her fritters?

          May I please have a translation for “squeezing dead horse on her fritters”? I assume fritters is some sort of food, but the dead horse has peaked my interest.

          Excuse me my apologies, may I please have a translation for “squeezing dead horse on her fritters”, ya cunt?

          Is it glue? But you don’t normally eat glue, so my guess is mayo or ranch maybe?

            Dead horse is tomato sauce (ketchup)

            It rhymes.

            Fritters are deep fried, could be potato, but sometimes you get banana.

      Cunt is one of the most Australian words I know. I sadly left OZ more than a decade ago,but I still get a bit of a melancholic feeling whenever I hear it.

      The fact that you can also say cunt in an positive sense is fucking funny.

      Sick cunt! And Oi cunt is always a bit of a hit and miss for someone who is not an native Australian slang speaker.

      (Oi cunt once got me thrown out of an irish pub somewhere in County Cork - when used to greet my Australian mate

      Bogan is also a word that needs much more recognition worldwide. Same as Drongo and Fair dinkum. And so many others.
