Well, I apologize if I offended anyone, but it's taken right from Belkar's last line.

"Hairbrained" was the only suggestion that really applied to Durkon (...and yes, I understand the correct spelling differs since the term originally referenced the rabbitlike critter not the emissions from incontinent follicles ... but the neoascriptal version is funnier.)

[Scarlet Knight]

In this world " troglodyte" has a different meaning. Keep both "hairbrained "& "ninny" instead.

[Nimrod's Son]

No "nincompoop"? No "doofus"?

For shame.

[Bongos]

Durkon the Dufus, Durkon Dunderhead.
Perhaps we'll see Belkar using these along the lines of Stubbles von Smackhammer.

I don't think schmuck really fits. Schmuck as used by my grandmother, and yiddish speaking relatives means someone that is kind of a jerk.

Actually I'm surprised Belkar's vocabulary includes the word synonym.

[JonestheSpy]

Don't forget Numpty (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=numpty)! And Bampot (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bampot)!

Cause by usin' tha' las' Sendin', Durkon was bein' a glaikit (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=glaikit) bastird, wannit 'e?

A 'course, Belkar's a nippet (http://hubpages.com/hub/thejockspot_awa_and_bile_yer_heid) scunner (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=scunner)* hisself, isn't 'e?

What? Dwarves are all actually Scottish, aren't they?

[Trixie]

Bwork-head.
Iop-brain.

There, my work here is done :smallamused:

[Lord Loss]

Bantha Fodder?

Star Wars Battlefront 2 Wins Again!

[hamishspence]

Only Fools & Horses has more than a few- mostly aimed at Rodney, often and euphemisms for body parts.

"Plonker" is a favourite.

Also "twonk" and "dipstick".

[The Vorpal Tribble]

Idgit

The list is incomplete without it.

[Redrat2k6]

Cotten Headed Ninny-Muggins...

Oh I think I went too far...

[Optimystik]

My current disappointment in Durkon leads me to approve of this thread.

[Scarlet Knight]

Can we come up with some insults that fit in with Sword & Fantasy games specifically? Perhaps Shakespearean, medieval, or literature based?

I remember The Hobbit using "attercop" & "tomnoddy" & of course, "fool" as in "fool of a Took" from LOTR.

[Faramir]

Odin-brained

The nice thing is that he'd probably take it as a compliment...

[hamishspence]

I recall a few from the Horrible Histories books.

Leatherhead was more a generic term for a thug, than an insult though.

[Kish]

I'd certainly expect him to, if you told him he had the brain of the head of the Northern pantheon!
