Hi guys,

I am in college, and in india, english is not the primary language. But, in college, we speak english only (common). The cool words are "bugger" to refer to a person, and "f*ck you" to show disgust towards somebody. But, i dont want to use either. Is there a more cooler variant of referring to a idiotic person? and, any lighter alternative for f u? How about alternatives for ASSHOLE or just ASS?

I think "troll" means an ugly girl, Pieanne.

Eejit (Irsih for "idiot")

air-head

gallah [gall-aah] (Australian - refers to a very stupid parrot)

dickhead (offensive)

dipstick

drongo (Australian)

jerk

loser

plank (from "as thick as a plank")

smeghead (a bit rude)

Troll and ugly girl? I thought it meant anybody ugly and dumb... au temps pour moi. (English = ?)
There's also "pizza face", if the person suffers from acne

troll
a.k.a. trolling

The act of posting a message in a newsgroup that is obviously exaggerating something on a particular topic, hoping to trick a newbie into posting a follow-up article that points out the mistake.

also a noun, for the idiot doing so.

Didn't we have a thread on this not too long ago?

I learn so much in this Forum!
Thank you MM!
My only knowledge of trolls came from Harry Potter. But if we put it all together, we get a nice picture.
