Sunday Humour: Best English Insults
If there’s one thing that’s really amazing about the English language is the rich diversity of their insults. Pure, cold and colourful.
Now, while this blog is apolitical (and generally so am I), I do indulge in the occasional guffaws of politicians and/or politics because they are sometimes just too funny (or stupid) as in the case of the recent Brexit and the tweet associated with it by a certain someone whom I’m not very fond of.
The hurls of insults in response to that just one tweet were unbelievably grand. It’s the English language at its best. Have a look at these:
My favourite?The harmless sounding “spoon”!
Best delivered with a British or Scottish accent for maximum impact methinks (and not that I could do an accent for the life of me!) So there! I’ll leave you with some psychedelic use of English words to add to your vocabulary for the week in case you find a need for them.
Oh! wait. If you have about 4 minutes to spare before you go, below is a brilliant sketch from Patrick Stewart I just have to share. I almost peed in my pants watching this:
OK. I’m sorry, I’m not from the UK (but have loads of friends who are). No more of such things, I promise. Have a superb week peops!

Ann,
Loved this post.
Hating to be a Republican these days. Hating pur 2 party system. Enough said.
Thank you, Sarah! Politics get too complicated these days.
I think I’ll steal the “you spoon” insult, LOL. Much better than “you bloody idiot” Have a great week, Ann!
Right? Spoon’s the best one! LOL. Same to you, Jas! xoxo
I can’t even stop laughing 🙂
hehehehehe! Glad it made you laugh, jackie! 🙂
