Hi I'm from the UK and have grew up partly in South Africa and Gibraltar, so I know the lingo (language).
Bugger Off is a lesser evil to *** Off or *** Off,
Knob (silent k, so nob) is a good word, it can mean a few things depending on the context; it can replace idot, arsehole (***), So if your friend said somthing and stupid or said he did something and you thought it to be stupid or idiotic, then you could say "You're such a knob", or instead of saying What an arsehole, you could say, "What a knob".
knob is harsher than idiot, but has more of an impact, it's not severe.
Technically it means dick (as in penis), but it has translated into many other meanings.
Retard is a good work, so is mong, they are used to describe an idiot, so you could say, "What a mong/retard" or "You are SUCH a mong/retard" or just "Retard!".
Mong and retard mean people who are not fully there, i.e. people with mentally disabilities.
Hope these help!
