ROB DELANEY ASKED THE PEOPLE OF GREAT BRITAIN TO TWEET THEIR FAVOURITE INSULTS - AND THEY CAME THROUGH FOR HIM
Today I want to celebrate that time Catastrophe star and Twitter legend, Rob Delaney, put out a simple Tweet to his 1.5 million followers.
It said:
The responses were glorious. And it made me want to build a lexicon of the best Aussie insults like “champ”, “muppet”, “flog”, “mole”, “grub”, and, yes, “fuck knuckle”. That’s all I can think of off the top of my head. If you know some funny ones, whack them in the replies.
Meanwhile, here are the pick of the insults Delaney got back from British followers.
OK Aussie Kickers, over to you? Surely, we can do better. We’re the masters of insult comedy.
You’re a “fuckin Tony” for someone who might arrive and eat an onion.
"Throttler" and "Stroker" are two insults that are finding increasingly wide applicability, at least in my world
