You could go full British. "You absolute/complete/total (any noun)"
You absolute sponge.
You complete brick.
You total signpost.
Its all in the delivery. Say it with enough malice and anything is an insult.
**Puts on British voice
''You tooting foghorn of ignorance''
you UTTER building material
You fucking spanner.
Call someone sticky, and dont use it like an insult say it like you are being genuine. If they try to hand you something shy away and be like "oh um no I'm sorry, you're just kinda sticky" garentee that'll leave a mark
Champ.
Yahoo#1: "The Earth is flat, didn't you know?"
You: "Alright, Champ."
Niggard/niggardly sounds like a really, really, awful choice for a word to describe someone cheap like Scrooge. It's not a slur it just sounds way too much like one. The use of the word is controversial despite the only connection the two words share is how they sound.
I wouldn't use the word around people though. Explaining how a word that sounds racist isn't racist makes you appear to be more racist. It isn't a slur but gets treated as if it was one.
✓ quite offensive
✓ not a slur
X you probably still shouldn't use it
The only reason people use this word is because it sounds like the slur. If you're choosing words just so you can say "Actually, it's technically not a slur," you're just being racist.
It could be argued that the term comes from racist roots and therefore using it is racist.
the answer is obviously "weatherboy"
Is that a reference to something?
Wouldnt you like to know Weatherboy
I guess I was really only half curious
Thanks, that is amazing and has improved my morning significantly!
Lately I've been a big fan of "bungalow", to signify that someone has nothing upstairs.
As an Australian, I would like to introduce you to a word more offensive than “fuck” while just as versatile, and that is “Cunt”.
Big fan of the word. I use it frequently. I also eat Vegemite and say she'll be right. Big fan of y'all.
Yeah nah. Do you go to the servo for smoko? Ever get some dim sims from the fish and chippery? Ever chuff down durries, while eyeing up some ranga chick squeezing dead horse on her fritters?
May I please have a translation for "squeezing dead horse on her fritters"? I assume fritters is some sort of food, but the dead horse has peaked my interest.
Excuse me my apologies, may I please have a translation for "squeezing dead horse on her fritters", ya cunt?
Is it glue? But you don't normally eat glue, so my guess is mayo or ranch maybe?
Dead horse is tomato sauce (ketchup)
It rhymes.
Fritters are deep fried, could be potato, but sometimes you get banana.

Cunt is one of the most Australian words I know. I sadly left OZ more than a decade ago,but I still get a bit of a melancholic feeling whenever I hear it.
The fact that you can also say cunt in an positive sense is fucking funny.
Sick cunt! And Oi cunt is always a bit of a hit and miss for someone who is not an native Australian slang speaker.
(Oi cunt once got me thrown out of an irish pub somewhere in County Cork - when used to greet my Australian mate
Bogan is also a word that needs much more recognition worldwide. Same as Drongo and Fair dinkum. And so many others.
Pimmel.
In a professional setting: disappointment is the strongest word I've ever said to someone
Outside that? I don't know if there is a good cutoff between slur/not slur... The one I vividly remember was old Chinese social media users (before the blockage) calling some people "Wumao" (translates to 50 cents). This is implying that the person is being a troll, and they did it because they were so pathetic that they accepted a 50-cent commission from the government to say good/bad things on the internet. Probably still the worst insult I could imagine till this day; modern equivalent might be calling someone "nice job ChatGPT" or a "Russian bot"
Republican
Definitely a slur
Not a word, but my favorite recent addition was when someone told me her husband, rather than flip people off in road rage situations, just looks at them and gives them a thumbs down gesture, and it makes them so much more mad. I’ve been doing it whenever I see Cybertrucks.
cunt
Presidential.
Piss slit
Twat
I have a good one. Once a small machine shop in my hometown had their adjustable sign say "gravely bad-boy scag" which sounds like the best insult ever, but apparently all 3 are brands of lawnmowers that they sold.
Me and my sister still call each other scag to this day lol
Pig's sluice
Clanker. It’s a slur, but who cares. AI don’t have feelings.
Fucktard
ending a word with "-tard" references the "r-slur" against disabled people. Regardless of if you still approve of its use (I don't) it therefore misses the question asked.

It's a portmanteau of a slur

An incredibly vulgar way of saying "you" in Japanese.
What makes it vulgar, just curious?
I'm a novice when it comes to the language as a heads up. But my understanding is that generally most of these incredibly vulgar ways of saying "you" came about because they were originally actually respectful ways of referring to someone. But as time passed, people began using them ironically. So a term that was originally respectfully used to refer to someone of higher status is now only used if you're basically cursing someone out.
Japanese doesn't really have swear words, it's mostly just words that are incredibly disrespectful or otherwise inappropriate for certain context.
There's also 貴様 (kisama) which is basically so comically rude because, to my understanding, saying it implies everyone is inferior to you by default.
Edit: it's also worth noting that saying "you" isn't very common in Japanese in general. Usually you'd just refer to someone by their name. So even otherwise tame versions of you can still be inappropriate in the wrong circumstances. Not to the degree of these though.
The short answer is, "because history". Like most words, although this often feels like a non-answer.
You battery operated trilobite would not recognise an offensive sentence if I typed it at you!
I want a pet trilobite

"Fargin Bastages".
I cannot think of anything outside of the not so humble Australian cunt for single words. That or LLMbecile ( one I heard here ).
Though, when talking to others, a classic "Mr. Rodgers would be disappointed in you." is always an option.
Few of my personal favorites: "I'm disappointed in you" "You don't have to be your parents you know" "Is this what you do with your free time?"
