~~ morons, gits, nincompoops, etc.

this is a really stupid entry, but. hey, it's come up, what can i say.
i'm writing my fic, right (and why does this only happen at -night-, after a day wasted on nothing? why? why??... but yeay, etc. and no, still no friends list reading today. woe.) and... okay, everytime i write a harry-and-draco scene, i feel the need to come up with authentic-sounding insults. but um... it makes me realize that my grasp of boys' insults, especially british boys, is rather sadly limited.
er. so... i was wanting input of the insult variety, teenage brit-speak in particular. hee. this is -fun-. i'm sure that teenage boys have a -lot- of insults going-- i mean, that's what they do, right? they insult each other creatively as a way to break the ice, i'm sure-- or whatever reason. point is, i'm sure there's -way- more than the 5 epithets i know.
i mean, i know there's (two-faced, four-eyed, dirty, stinking, bloody, stupid, ugly, evil, disgusting, fetid[??!], slimey, nasty, simpering, poncey) git, bastard, tosser, wanker, sod, fucker, arse and/or arsehole, idiot (maybe?), prick... and the derogatory terms for queerness, i guess (though i don't think they'd be used in general-insult circumstances).
is moron one of those british-boy words, for instance? jerk (no, right)? loser isn't, is it? i keep having the urge to have them use "moron", 'cause i like the word so much, but they wouldn't, would they. `dirtbag' is probably 100% american-- and anyway, it sounds rather silly.... cockless? is that even a word? o_0 would the size of one's penis even enter into a general insult? ha. "sodding baby"?... "stupid, clueless stinking... motherless... arsehole"? *laughs* i'm trying too hard, aren't i -.-
especially not in a highly-charged situation. what -would- be a highly-charged insult, anyway? i mean, prick and bastard seem too... tame. fucker seems too... all-purpose (although i'm sure it'll do in a pinch), plus if you use "fucking" as an adjective, you can't very well say "fucker". "bloody fucker" seems... eh. nincompoop is right out. um. "stupid bloody brainless hero wannabe" seems... overly verbose, as well as redundant o_0 "witless stinking sod" sounds almost shakesperean, on the other hand. maybe, "witless bloody stinking... sodding... GRYFFINDOR"?... but that's almost -cute-. wah.
so. how would draco insult harry?? :D
and vice versa, if different!
