Names that end in -ly, -lee, -y or -ty can be pronounced like they're adverbs or adjectives. For example, you could say someone is acting fogerty, looking kind of henly, or doing something brucelee.

your mustache is glistening mattingly




Some words just look like slurs too. I never felt comfortable saying "spigot"

My girlfriend says, "What the fish?"

Cheese and rice
Four foot snake

Milquetoast
Wanker / tosser
Troglodyte
Simian
Pandejo

This thread had me return to TV from my youth: “Fun you, you muddyfunster!”

Forgive the junk grade Fake Italian.

I've been leaning on Steve Brule-isms a lot because they make me giggle and feel stupid and innocent all at once: "dingus," "dungle," "doofus," "dangatang." These have even caught on with my kids, who now use "dingus" as a term of endearment.

"Jabroni" is another good one.

"Pillock" might be my favorite but it really only sounds good in a British accent, which I don't have.

Edit: After typing this I realized that my sig, which is a Shorty song title, also has another good one.

At this point we have a lovely bouquet of words I associate with foolishness. It's nice to put the R word to rest forever.

For weakness so far I'm liking 'don't be a Henley.' I'm afraid it might be too strong next time my band mate cancels practice because it's snowy. Maybe it's a little soft for referring to a crowd of people who claim mask wearing will harm their children.

The R word? I've worked hard on dropping that from my vocabulary (though I reserve the right to use it about myself) and have started using 'rem' (short for remedial) instead.

Also in heavy rotation: turd (a great word; 'you can't polish a turd' has always been a favourite expression because it's so perfect) and tool.

Being a Brit, though, I usually go for twat (rhymes with hat) and the C word

The C word another powerful linguistic spice with unfortunately female roots. Funny, I associate the British use of cunt with the American use of dick: one who is foolish and rude. Opposite genitalia for the same character flaw.
