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.
I prefer "nitwit"

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
