Pretty much anything with "absolute" in front of it gets the message across.

"That bloke's an absolute pancake"

Onanist.

Can be used in (relatively) polite company without sounding sweary and many won't realise the meaning.

Walloper also a favourite.

OP - curious why you're looking for non-mysoginistic insults, but at the same time saying "Throbber" is a great insult. You do know that is referring to a Penis?

Why is one bad, but the other good?

melt..as in 'what a melt' or 'shut up you ******* melt'.

Why is one bad, but the other good?

  • Because most of the time a masculine insult is gender appropriate 
  • Because in comedy terms it’s “punching up” rather than “punching down” as generally being a man is a privileged position in society

We are. But our speciality is actually stringing them together into a string of insults that may be directed and the mad radge that knocked your pint that's about to get laid into. Or at best friends as a friendly hello.

I like the more surreal, unexpected ones or insults that manage paint a little picture, I have used/heard in the past:

"...Absolute Jazz-hammer"

"...he/she is a gigantic effort sponge"

"...intellectual equivalent of whispering in a hurricane"

"...Mind like a cotton wool cage"

"...He soars like a breeze block"

"...like arguing with a turnip..."

"...brain full of unicorns and silly string"

"...actually too thick to be embarrassed by their own stupidity..."

"...the brightest spark in this forest fire"

"...the strongest argument I've encountered for eugenics"

"...the strongest argument I've encountered for contraception"

"...I'd happily buy him a pint... of bleach"

Stroker

Cockwomble still takes some beating

A recent addition came courtesy of Nihal on five live

You absolute lunch!

Needs to be said in a Danny Dyer type accent for full effect in the same way that 'gobshite' needs a scouse accent

There is something about the combination of accent and language which multiplies the impact of the put down.

berk isn’t as popular as it used to be

Found out fairly recently that Berk is actually cockney rhyming slang. You'll have to look it up yourself, definitely at risk of the ban-hammer and NSFW.

Belter.

And like throbber can also be prefixed with 'turbo/weapons-grade/uber' to give others an indication of the magnitude of said individual.

There are some swears that were very popular 70's that have made a resurgence with the younger members of our family and youngsters in general (the U21s). Not very PC now so not going to type them. I doubt they know their original context though.

Belter

Oh! As a southerner up north around the turn of the century, I thought an associate from Newcastle was using belter meaning awesome. I never picked it up so possibly avoided some misunderstandings there!

@sirromj it does mean that, not sure where it doesn't.

Doesn't fit the criteria but fud is a good one.

Rocket does.

As does banger.

Always makes me cringe when someone says "that's an absolute banger". Aye, ye ur.

I associate the word "banger" with Radio 1 DJs who are older than they think they are, still trying to relate to the Youth Of Today before playing some absolutely toss music.

I don't make the rules, I got slagged off for using the term 'pole smoker' so I'm just passing along the joy.

Fleshlight is good, like it.

Not non-misogynistic unfortunately but 'She's one of those who's all nylon stockings and no breakfast' made me laugh this morning. 

(Re Throbber, that sounds right, but I maintain 'throb' and 'thrum' should be pronounced with the same voiced 'th' sound as 'there' or 'then', and spelt 'dhrob' and 'dhrum').

Thunder as a pre fix. Works particularly well with the "C" word.

Fannybaws is my particular favourite.

As a Scottish Air traffic controller (and ex squaddie), I have many abusive terms in my vocabulary which are best not transmitted over the RT but are used very often.
