school insullts: regional variations

Okay.....imagine you in the back of tthe classroom...and the school joke is sat infont of you working hard on his history essay, you're bored and decide to kick the school jokes ( lets call him Stig from the classic children's story Stig of the Dump ) chair for a laugh...he turns around and you give him the 'evils' he think's twice and continues with history essay.

Naturally the reaction you got was not to you expectations so you do it again, but this time much harder...

This time he turns around and tell's you to stop it or he'll tell the teacher..

Your instant re-action is to stroke you chin and taunt him...now I've spoken to a few people from different corners of this fair land and we alll agree this was a classic school wind up..but what did you say while stroking your chin...

was it....

a) [strokes chin] raaazz, razzzz, raaaaazzzz, razzle dazzle
b) [strokes chin] jimmy, jimmy, jimmy hill
c) [strokes chin] chinnny, chiinny, chin
d) [strokes chin] beeefy, beeefy, beefy..

or can you add to this classic school insult?

NOTE: For you of us here who are not residents of the UK you probably have no idea what I'm talking about...

 

we did 'jimmy hill' and 'chinny'

but it mutated to 'chinny rekon'

 

As per MOT here...

 

Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuubies.

 

we also had an assembly on disabilty which spawned a thousand insults, 'spino' being one i remember

 

it mutated to 'chinny rekon'



Yeah! What was that all about?!

Memories...

 

Scarily exactly the same as MOT & Mayhem. Although I will add that "reckon" is pronounced "reck-ON!"

Oh, and we also added the overly-descriptive but hilarious "My chin's itchy! My chin's itchy!"

 

Shoulda known you guys were the school bullies.

 

dammit I forgot chinny reckon....

ahhh the good all days

 

Wow, that takes me back. Definitely Chinny chin though

 

joey was another

 

gives Jon a wedgie

No edits allowed!

 

//chinese burns wormie

 

kicks Jon in the balls

Sometimes, the old ones work the best.

 

As in Joey Deacon, the "hilarious" paraplegic they featured on Blue Peter in the mid 80s... that became a name of derision. Especially for the poor kid in our year who actually had that name

 

//pulls hair

 

wuss

 

//pokes eye

//gouges fleah

 

Not just 'chinny reckon' but 'chinny reckoner'

As in, "You're a right reckoner"

Reckoner: def: one who reckons

I reckon I have the best pencil case etc.

And then there was Joey Deacon. Or Deacon as we used to call people (You Deacon) whilst pulling a joey and clapping our hands but intentionally missing and making a MUMPH kinda noise.

 

trips Jon

You have to dodge, you goob.

 

there was a punk band at home who made a song up about joey..

Joey Deacon was a messy eater
until he came across Blue Peter
they felt sorry for our poor Joe
and built him a bungalow

 

Jimmy Reck-ON

LOL. memories. And of course. Spaaaaaaaaaag. Which is the same as joey.

 

Belisha as in Belisha Beacon - Joey Deacon

 

These are all English taunts.

We did have chinny but we didnt say anything...just stroked our chins. LOL

We did say yopton, yopton, [insert full name of person]'s yopton whilst wagging a pointed finger at the person.

Yopton probably coming from Shopping someone or grassing someone up.

THEN, we were told that pointing was rude...so the pointed finger became a wagging knuckle...LOL

 

We had the chin one as well, but ours was "itchy chin" meaning we thought the person was lying their ass off.
