Twunt. That's a good one. Or fucktard.

As in, "Mike Love really is a fucktard isn't he? The twunt."

Worried Man · 2014-10-14 14:26:10

Twunt's a new one for me. I've heard twat and twit.

"Numbskull" and "nimrod" are good with the right situation, timing, target, and of course, audience.

Ah yes. I forgot about the 'dill' family of insults. That reminds me, I'll also use "dildo", which I picked up from the lady. "That guy is such a dildo!"

For me I don't have confidence for Madras shirts or jackets, Go To Hell Ivy, Pop overs and other aspects and I've not ever adopted tassel loafers. I'm glad others have though, it's just not for me. I'm even giving up jeans and polos gradually now as they just don't feel right anymore.

My height and age means a 2 button jacket looks better than a 3 button now, so I tend to go for them. Most 3/2 rolls in my proportions that have wide lapel or loud pattern look so I tend to go for modern two button jackets of the right look (to me).

With regard to shirts, a full BB style rolled collar on someone of 5' 6" looks too much, too Harry Hill. A 2-3 finger button rolled button down of standard length looks better and I therefore tend towards those. In reality I may be more dressed down Prep than traditional Ivy. It doesn't matter, I'm just putting together a look drawn on Ivy influences.

Ivy is it seems quite a broad look within our self imposed stylistic choices.

There is a whole load of Ivy that doesn't work in a UK specific context (let's not open up on the differences) - bucks, bow ties, duck boots etc. I'll always personally filter Ivy style through a mid-century modern rather than American traditional dress perspective. Flawed as that may be, it's my route in and sensibility.

I do like that we all have our own take on the look. Keeps it fun. I mean, if we all had the exact same taste it would be hard to make fun of one another.

Gypsy dildo (from "Repo Man").

I don't like critter pants, but I do have belts with trout on them. So I'm inconsistent. Sue me, ya gypsy dildo nimrod wanker buttface asshat.

By the way, your mother looks like Cinderella's stepmother on a ten-day drunk.

Worried Man · 2014-10-14 20:59:20

^
But you're an avid fisherman, so the trout get a pass.

But I don't abide the critters either.

Harpo · 2014-10-15 02:48:24

As I've said before, I've never had the DTs, but having little animals running all over your trousers must be similar.

HATE is a terrible world generally for me these days as I try n espouse a better way through life….

I certainly can’t use it in a clothes context at all at all at all……

Whilst I may not care for clarks dessies, boat shoes, camp mocs, duffels (at the moment…) and a fair few other bits loved by many on here…. I will never say never….I’ll never really be happy in any particular look I’d wager and love to chop n change…

I still go through cravat modes ha ha…wear Barbour, albeit mostly thee old classic Beacons which are essentially a motorcycle jacket… but I’m a happy son of immigrants….despise Far Right Wingers with a passion…it’s the perfect insult to em for me…and there remains a bit of the Jermyn St in me…hopefully forever… until I open my gob of course, he he…
Take it and slap it back in their mush I say….
I’ve yet to go down the bow tie route but Gawd I hope I do…
I don’t want to follow any dress code whatsoever Gentlemen…. I’m always up for a crack at any kind of attire…..BRING ON THE GARB… I’ve always believed I can pull off absolutely anything…of course that means donning some right mares over the years, but hey.. I really wouldn’t want it any other way…NEVER BE TOLD my brothers…. Wear your freak flag proudly….Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more…Follow your spirit, and upon this charge Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'……eh?......well I think we can safely say SOMEONE is hungover today….. a big up to McGlynn’s in the back streets of once shady Kings X…he he…

I’ll add pussy shit as a fave term of abuse and as heard by 2 well-to-do older gents having a barny on a bus many moons ago…. After trading insults and trying to be more offensive each time (and not really succeeding…) one of em..totally exasperated….uttered said term…..and got a round of applause for me as I had to tell the other one that “Mate…there’s no coming back from that one…..” he he…
Still makes me laugh to this day…

Thee Captain's got the right attitude. I commend him. The pussy drizzle that he is. I just made that up. Use freely.
