When I was in Norfolk a couple of insults that made me chuckle were “plank” and “punnet”.

Last word to Rob Delaney.

Magnificent responses. I laugh hardest at the most nonsensical ones like “quilt.” The profane/overt ones aren’t as funny to me, w/ the exception of “bell whiff” & (I have to assume) “cleft.” Also I didn’t know “melt” was CRS for “clown”; meltdown->clown. Fabulous.
