Weird. When I saw this thread that was the first word that came into my head. I once had a wazzock day, when I decided to try and use the word in front of as many people as possible to get the word back into use. I may do it again.

Giraffe...you have to prefix it with the marvellous words "spawney eyed parrot faced..."...to gain full effect!

Here are two playground insults I don't hear at this moment in time.

Joey - from touching disabled blue peter hero Joey Deacon.

Mo - short for homo and widely used in the playground when I were a nipper
