I’ve already ran the gamut on jokes about Dicks.

Everything in Blackadder
Once they’ve got that, move on to Malcolm Tucker level insults
Tried to explain why ‘Bob’ was funny to them last week and they weren’t having any of it.

Jeremy Clarkson (RIP) once talked through the humour of Bob with Rowan Atkinson. It was a good explanation.

I was in Malaysia once and a got chatting to a guy who didn’t have the best English. He asked me for another way to say “I’m only joking” and I taught him to say “I’m only having a giraffe”, which he managed in broken English (“Having a jee raff”) I hope one day he says that to an Englishman and confuses him thoroughly.

My personal favourite is “blithering idiot”.

Fuckwit is a traditional insult that I have found is often quickly taken into new arrivals hearts. My guess is, this is because it unites two words with very old IndoEuropean roots.

I hope to get a British person to call me a knob one day.

Smeghead Or cockwomble.

“Cockwomble” definitely gives off the impression of having looked up how to sound like a Brit on the internet! Big fan of smeghead though.
