Calling someone a cu*t without them knowing it...

[Spun Cuppa]

Having worked in skilled manual trades, and construction/earthmoving, there was always a way of really insulting a colleague or superior, but without them knowing it. Whether by double entendre or allusory language, there were loads of them flying about years ago, but I can't remember any (probably because I was on the end of them )

Any top exponents of the subtle art on here with examples

We have a mate we call Gusset as its a reasonably polite way of calling him one.

Try whispering it under your breath.

Grumble (and grunt)

Call them a 'berk', short for 'berkshire hunt'
i could never understand when i was a kid, why my dad didnt like me calling anyone a 'berk'.

Do you think we'll sign Stephen Hunt?

How anyone can use such language is beyond me etc etc back in my day etc etc shows your character etc etc

When I worked at Leamington Spa in BR days we had two supervisors.

One was called the Olympic Flame as he never went out of the office and the other one Stocking Tops as they were the nearest thing to a ****.

Doing a five-knuckle shuffle gesture is more effective when they're not looking.

Surely it is more effective when they are looking

You know, I read this and didn't believe it - not something I've ever heard (the meaning, not the word), but I've checked and it's absolutely right. Blimey.

I used to call a work colleague Bliss. He assumed it was because he was always cheerful.
