Olde insults

[dextrous]

Can you remember any old insults that we used to use yesteryear, before PC (perhaps) or general disdain of the usage came into being and language evolved?

I mentioned "spazz" on another post, and wish to offer "Flid" as a other example (and yes, I know the origin of these words - the post is about what used to be considered vaguely "acceptable" before they became taboo).

Try to avoid the usual racist ones if you can please - although the stupid ones such "Abjab" are of some historical interest.
