 INSULTS GALORE...
Have fun with it!!! 
Surprise some idiots in your life. 

I stumbled upon this really amazing group of words that are apparently swear/cuss words. They sound so much like Captain Haddock's curses, I tell you. ☺ Use them in your spoken language, they are much more fun than those that start with a, b, s, and in desi style m's and b's even. Your opponent will be thoroughly GOBSMACKED and ask you, "You called me WHATTT?" 

*****

1. GOUBERMOUCH

Apparently means a busybody. 
This is an Irish term for someone who likes to meddle in other people's business. 

Try saying "You, you Goubermouch, stay out of this!"



2. GNASHNAB

It is an 18th century northern English word which is used to describe a whiny person who keeps complaining all the time. Synonyms for this word would include nitpicker, grumbler and moaner. 

Imagine yourself saying, "He looks like he's gonna kick some human ass, ya whinin' gnashnab!"



3. SNOUTBAND

A conversation interruptor... Somebody who intercepts conversations to put in his/her own bit in it. Mostly to show off their own knowledge and to correct or contradict the opponent. Every social group has their own snoutband who think they know everything. In fact I suffered from this malady myself for the longest time. :P But you bet I won't be indulging in this any longer. You bet, I don't want to be called a snoutband



4. STAMPCRAB

Somebody that is clumsy or heavy of foot. stumbling onto places that they have no business being in, would be a stampcrab. 



5. SCOBBLELOTCHER

scobberlotcher is someone who avoids hard work like it's their job. The next time you catch someone dozing off at their desk, hit 'em with this one. 



6. ZOOTERKINS

The website Matador Network says this is "a 17th century variant of ‘zounds’ which was an expression of surprise or indignation." 

It's less of an insult and more of something to yell after someone has insulted you... but of course you can follow up with some other great words of your own. :P some Haddock style blistering barnacles. 



7. ZOUNDERKITE

Not a bird this one........ were you thinking on the lines of a dogbird? 

No no, if you were, you are way off target. This is a Victorian word simple meaning idiot. Especially to be spoken with indignant irritation. Synonyms would be buffoon! 



8. BEDSWERVER

I just love this one... William Shakespeare coined this to describe an adulterer, literally speaking a bedhopper. But I guess, hopper did not sound sophisticated enough, hence the swerver. 



9. FOPDOODLE

A fopdoodle is someone of literally none or little significance. So if you're letting someone get on your nerves that really shouldn't have the power, remember that they're just a fopdoodle. ;) ;) :D Then carry on.


10. KLAZOMANIAC

This is a person who can only ever shout in any argument. THAT's ALL I AM GOING TO SAY ABOUT THAT, YOU HEAR ME! ....hehehe... i guess you got the point. (Wait! :D Did you not know that writing full sentences or paras in Capitals is akin to shouting at people on the internet?)



*****


So what are you waiting for We all have some Fopdoodles in our lives, lets get on with telling them what absolute Zooterkin Snoutbands they are behaving like. :) :) :D
