Creative swearing

Ages ago I wrote a post about swearing in front of K and how I often didn't realise I was doing it. Since then I've done quite well at curbing the cussing but there is one area that is still out of control: when I'm driving.

As any Londoner will attest, driving in the capital can be a battlefield. You can't help but wonder how many other drivers have actually passed a driving test, let alone have insurance, and it only takes a few minutes before I'm scowling and yelling like a fish wife. K once repeated back to me "piss off" and I had to dig myelf out of that one by explaining that I was telling the other driver to pass off, and that I wanted the car to pass by us and into the garage that he'd suddenly decided to perform an emergency stop in front of.

I find myself quite surprised by the insults that spring from my lips lately, here are a few offerings...
Spanner
Nongnut
Nobber
Muppet
Blowoff

These are still said with some venom which isn't good for K to overhear but nowhere near as shameful if she decides to repeat them.

Do let me know if you have any made-up insults, I could do with adding some new ones to my list. I get through quite a few on a trip out.
