The use of the term "raspberry" as an insult...

[vx220]

...possibly for the "classics from the Mrs" thread, but she's clammed up for now...

Has anyone used this as an insult? Or been a victim?

Help me out!

Raspberry ripple

Pretty common when I was a kid.

Had a bloke in front of me at a rugby match wanting to say something a bit abusive to a player who had made a giant fk up shout out "You Radish"

I like it.

Similar to balloon, donut and nugget.

I like to drop a poked out tongue raspberry during any arguments I get to win, not many which is a shame.

Plum is another.

The Phantom Raspberry Blower of Old London Town claimed a few victims.......

Unsure it's anything like those.

That's what it was when I was a kid, not sure what raspberry tart is.

Used to work with a guy who was a miserable st to his wife who'd had a hip replacement. Took great delight in referring to her as the raspberry (ripple); a real charmer!

Bad enough 25 years ago but even more unpleasant in these more enlightened times.

It's fart, you 'tard...

[Jasandjules]

Perhaps I have thick skin but that doesn't seem an "insult" per se to me !

[PositronicRay]

It's how motor trade "motability specialists" refer to their clients. (along with lettuce wetters & dribblers etc)

Particularly unpleasant.
