Any inanimate object will do. Spoon, valve, spanner all v popular, v valid UK insults. V rarely meant with malice. Just means you’re bit soft and ineffective.

The fact you’re complaining about it is the reason you were called one.

Gotta love it
You can call someone pretty much anything as an insult if you put the word “absolute” before it
E.g “You absolute doorknob” https://t.co/7gCuEDtAZ3

Don’t know if it’s necessarily a British thing, but calling someone a gimp is in my top most used https://t.co/uMeV7sQIyk
