Obviously, the correct way to settle a dispute between two people is to have a mature conversation without the petty put-downs. I am by no means condoning insulting someone. However, there are times in which the only way to describe someone to their truest extent is by throwing a little shade. Here are 28 words that perfectly describe those people that get on our nerves the most.

1. Gnashnab

According to Meriam-Webster, Gnashnab is an 18th-century northern English word, meaning someone who makes constant complaints about almost everything.

2. Scallywag

This is almost a complement but not quite. A scallywag is a rascal or someone of reckless behavior that usually gets away with it. They’re kind of cool, to be honest.

3. Stampcrab

Someone that is extremely ungraceful and clumsy would be considered a stampcrab.

4. Gasser

Someone who is constantly bragging about themselves. You know those people that constantly try to one up you in a conversation? Yeah, that’s a gasser for you.

5. Whiffle-whaffle

Someone who wastes your time. We all know a whiffile-whaffle, am I right?

6. Zonderkite

This is a Victorian word meaning idiot.

7. Bedswerver

Shakespeare coined this term to describe an adulterer or whorish person. Thank you, Shakespeare.

8. Fopdoodle, fop, foppish, foppling

A fopdoodle is someone of little significance. When someone who shouldn’t have the authority to upset you starts to get on your nerves, just remember they are a fopdoodle. It’ll make it better.

9. Klazomaniac

This is a person WHO CAN ONLY SPEAK BY SHOUTING. ‘Nuff said.

10. Anupataphobia

Fear of staying single. Kind of like a Bedswerver but this one can be used more to describe a condition that a promiscuous person may have. Ex: “Did you hear that Dave broke up with Courtney last Monday and she is already on to Tim?” “Yeah! I swear she has Anuptaphobia.”

11. Blunderbuss

A short gun, with a wide bore, for carrying slugs; Aka a dumb brute.

12. Cow-handed

Someone who is utterly awkward or weird.

13. Fussbudget

An anxious, fidgety person.

14. Gentleman of four oats

Someone who lacks wittiness, money, credibility, and manners. Probably not someone you would want to bring home to your parents.

15. Minikin

A little man or woman often as wide as they are tall. Think Russell, the little boy from the movie "Up."

16. Nincompoop

A foolish fool.

17. Migmenog

A very silly lad.

18. Snoutband

Someone who constantly interrupts a conversation to correct or contradict the person speaking. Otherwise known as a know-it-all.

19. Poltroon

A coward. This is the perfect insult for that friend who lacks the balls to ask that pretty girl on a date or the one that always ruins the run because they are scared of getting hurt. It’s quite versatile if you ask me.

20. Rattle cap

A mentally unstable person who cannot control their temper - or any of their emotions for that matter.

21. Gobermouch

This is an old Irish term for someone who likes to meddle in other people’s business.

22. Slug-a-bed

Someone who cannot rise in the morning. So pretty much every college student.

23. Sneaksby

A mean-spirited person. Often containing their own hidden agenda and a sneaky plan to achieve it.

24. Scobberlotcher

An old English dialect word for a “vacation” or a “break from work." A scobberlotcher is someone who works hard not to do any hard work. Modern day words include: lazy, bum, and work moocher.

25. Stingbum

A stingy or ungenerous fellow.

26. Unlicked cub

Pertaining to the tradition that a bear’s cub, when brought into the world, has no shape or symmetry until its mother licks it into form with her tongue. Without it, they are ill-trained and unclaimed. An unlicked cub is a young kid who has never been taught manners.

27. Duke of limbs

A tall, awkward fellow. I love these people.

28. Winkler

A person who is prone to lying.

Put one of these words in your rap-battle and you're sure to win (and leave your opponent utterly confused). Have fun, you little rascals.
