This ‘most British headline’ is still comedy gold

Over on r/rareinsults, u/deviantmoth has reshared a 2022 article from Wales Online, which people have described as ‘the most British headline ever’.

We’re just putting it out there – that insult isn’t partiicularly rare in the UK.

here’s how Reddit responded.

This is my new go-to insult.

My favourite British insult is “you fucking weapon”.

Calling someone an absolute melt is a classic.

British slurs can be really surprising.

As a British man myself. We can turn any normal words into an insult like this. Honestly it’s impressive.

If I was a judge I would be strict as fuck. What you say? 4 years extra, have that.

u/theretrospeculative suggested a defence.

“No, I said an absolute Helmut, like Helmut Kohl. Boy, was that ruling as fair as his Chancellorship of a Unified Germany.”

Guys, I think I might be Saul Goodman.

The most British headline – how about “today we have a high of 1 and cloudy” or “89% of Brexit voters were bald and over 50”?
