Choice names for ...

Pillar
Git
Asshat, assbag, assclown.....the whole ass family
Dipwad
*#@****** (i.e. you are the standard, a tool by
which all other *#@**** are measured)
Half a hand
Dillweed
Douche canoe

All have served me well for stress relief tools.

When touring as an FOH engineer, and needing a handy derogatory term for a tour mate.....
The riggers were "Wallendas"...... (look spiffy, but tend to fall)
The electricians were "Sparky"......(self explanatory)
The lighting techs (lampers)were "Gel heads"
The LD was a "Bulb Queen"
The stage manager was "Captain Queeg"
The audio techs (ampers) were "Hum Heads"

They would all get even by referring to the monitor engineer or myself as "The brown mound of sound"

All in good fun! :D
 
So, I tend to get frustrated, irked, irritated and otherwise fed up with idiots be it work environment, driving down the road or, trying to play with other musicians that generally can be a pain in thee buttocks for a myriad of reasons. Though I internalize my frustrations (usually) I go through my vocabulary searching for the proper descriptor to classify such numb skulls.
Other words that come to mind in times of need are...
Idiot
Jack Ass
Moron
I’m sure there’re more but I can’t think of any right now. Please assist with widening my vocabulary for these occasions.
Thank you for your input :D

Oooh I have lots.... too many, probably. Most of which have appeared in this thread so far.

My most commonly used is probably “muppet”, escalating to “weapons-grade muppet” for a total idiot. A person has to be immensely stupid to earn that one. Sadly, lots of people in life do earn it. The asinine activities of said people are therefore known as “ weapons-grade muppetry”.

Bellend is another (may not be wise to google this at work, if you don’t know it).
