A British insult — crude, punchy, and mostly used when someone's being a complete idiot or acting contemptibly. It's the kind of word hurled in frustration rather than calculated malice, sitting in the same locker room as "muppet" or "numpty" but with sharper edges. Particularly common in working-class British speech where there's a rich tradition of inventive abuse.
