It's rather extensive, but I was hoping to hear the word "git" somewhere in the description. I hear it all the time in English comedies such as the line "manki Scots git" from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Is twit a bit more oriented towards insulttng the upper classes? I seem to recall a Monty Python dealing with twits but it seemed to focus on Eton-Harrow Oxbridge types. They had a "twit" contest where one guy had beat a boy to death for being middle class or something like that.

As an American watching that lighting rod of controversy, George Galloway from across the pond once in a while, I have heard him use "Nutter" quite often and "Brass neck" to describe one's arrogance. I rolled my eyes last Spring when he returned to The House of Commons as an MP and declared that Donald Trump would be returning to the US Presidency, but,"son of a gun," he was correct.

Many years ago I decided Australia was for me. I started work in the Southwest of Western Australia in a farming area. My nickname became gormless, however the twits that called me that didn't know the word and called me glomus and wondered why I found it somewhat funny and was not offended.

Wazzok I never heard before. Nor scally or Billy jo-mates, but those are pretty obvious. (Scally...scallywag...pretty much the same). But daft, bonkers, twit, off your rocker, and one other I cannot recall this moment are all common in American English.

I 'm familiar with all of these wonderfully rich expressions, even though I'm an American. The single most glorious use of the English language isn't Shakespeare; it is "Blackadder". In my early twenties I discovered Monty Python, courtesy of America's first Public Television Station KUHT in Houston Texas. I was hooked! I fell in love with "Rising Damp", followed by the magnificent Elaine Stritch and Donald Sinden in "Two's Company". When I discovered "Blackadder" in the 80's my love of British banter was indulged on a level that has never been equaled. Now that I'm in my 70's it is British comedic panel shows that keep me laughing, and laughter is what keeps me alive! American television is written for the least educated, our most popular comedies are so predictable that I can anticipate the punch lines. That is why I continue to watch British television today, 50 years after discovering Monty Python's Flying Circus. My Niece and her family live in Islington. She wrote a hilarious book on the differences between the American and British English "That Isn't English". Her friend Lynn Truss wrote the forward to her book. My Niece was the editor that acquired the rights to publish "Eats Shoots and Leaves" in America. It was a best seller for Lynn Truss here too!

I don't think "bonkers" is particularly British, considering I've heard & used it all my life, having grown up in California and never been east of Boston, and the person I've heard it from the most is a KZbinr from/in Sweden. I think it's just slang for pretty much any English speaker. Similar with "twit," albeit having greater options for use in the age of social media.

Scally is a shortening of scallywag. The scallywags were the secret 'stay behind' force set up in 1939/40 to carry out sabotage. hit and run resistance attacks and assassinations of high ranking Germans behind the lines in the event of Britain being invaded. So maybe not as much of an insult as you may think...

@@kensmith5694 It doesn't matter why it was picked. What matters is the men picked had to pretend to be wasterels and petty criminals to explain why they were neither in uniform, reserved occupations or the home guard. And thus when it leaked that some were 'scallywags' the name got associated with petty criminals and lowlifes, when those who originally bore the title were far from that.
