"Bif" long antedates Brian Cowan; it refers to the condition spina bifida. I never heard it used to insult an actual disabled person; it was used to an able-bodied person as a general insult with the sense of "prat" or "idiot". Similar was "spaz", from "spastic". Do people still say these, they're so un-PC?

"Billy No-Mates" gets a similarly powerful reaction from Americans in the British Slang Quiz on Achievement Hunter's channel, which is Gavin Free (of AH / Slow Mo Guys) partly educating and partly torturing his American colleagues on British slang. There are 3 of them, and I would hugely hugely recommend them: kzitem.info/news/bejne/tIuEuJN8jZt0kno My wife and I must have watched them 6 times already and still in fits of laughter every single time, I can't imagine how someone born outside the UK but familiar with the culture would react to some of them, but I really hope you watch and enjoy. Also generally check out more Gavin Free stuff - Slow Mo Guys is amazing and the AH stuff he is a part of are 100% the best things they produce. A lover of British culture such as yourself would love him as much as I do, I'm sure. Love what you're doing with your channel though! I've always been weirdly proud to be British, but had almost forgotten why with the way we've conducted ourselves as a country for the last 5 years or so - your videos make me remember why that is, so thank you

Oh yes Mark Roberts! On social(ish) media I've sometimes used excariating British put-downs - when justified - and they haven't been completely understood as such. Cue baffled head scratching. But, quite rightly, I've also been on the receiving end of others' comments and have been equally nonplussed. Just as it should be. Vive la différence.

Now, THIS is my level!! 👍 Can't believe you missed out cock-womble, jizz-weazle, gobshite, twat and wank-puffin... 😂 The BBC comedy "Bluestone 42" has some particularly creative swearing in it too... Not sure if it's still on iPlayer but well worth a watch. Also, find myself uttering "wind your neck in", "have a word with yourself" and "what a ball-ache" quite a lot. Especially at work! For the "as much use as...", "a screen door on a submarine", "condom machine in the Vatican" and "an ashtray on a motorcycle" always make me chuckle. I love the endless variety of insults we manufacture in the UK! Makes me proud of my country... 😂 🇬🇧

Honestly as a Brit I always assumed half of these were in common use throughout the Anglosphere... this has enlightened me to the unique diversity of insults we have available

By far the best insulting name I heard when in the military was an individual who’d been nicknamed “Thrombo” because he was a slow moving clot

Another 'format' would be "Not the [_______] in the [________]" E.G., not the 'sharpest knife' in the 'drawer', 'brightest bulb' in the 'house' etc.

My Dad would sometimes describe a person as being ‘ like a fart in a trance’ and he once said that the broadcaster Simon Mayo did not have two brains to rub together. My favourite is f**kwit. I have also heard that adding the word ‘ virgin ‘ at the end of your insult makes a comeback even more difficult.
