Oh the last bit I was being facetious, most of these are so tame they wouldn't be offensive to many people in Britain either. It's school ground 10 year old boy stuff :P
But yeah, you're even less likely to take offence since, to most people outside the U.K., these words are gibberish.
Do you know any obscure insults used pretty much solely in your region?
I actually had to look some of this up (since I'm not very familiar with what insult words the U.K. are familiar with), but on a lower-scale, apparently the words dork and dweeb are purely American. For higher-level insults, it would be douche (or douchebag) and words with "ass" attached to it (such as ass-wipe or ass-hat).
That was why I picked them. Also you are right most people from the US do not find these insulting. I have insulted US(Americans) using this type of slang and they laughed at me.
Aww, I like tosspot! I think it sounds cute. I never really hear people use it, though.:/ Although I do hear "tosser" get used a lot. I think jubber sounds cute too, even though I've never actually heard of that before. Same with berk and dunny.:S
Berk is short for Berkshire Hunt... Which is cockney rhyming slang for.. Well you can guess :P Mostly used London way.
Jubber is somebody who is jubby, jubby is the same thing as minging. Not sure how widely used it is, but I know it from where I live (South West England).
Dunny means idiot. Not sure if it's from the Australian slang word for toilet or it has a different origin but again, only know it from South West, not sure how widely it's used.
Whats the most offensive insult?

Besides maybe spaz, there wouldn't be many people in America who would take offense to these words.
Though I do know what git and wanker are.

Berk is short for Berkshire Hunt... Which is cockney rhyming slang for.. Well you can guess :P Mostly used London way.

Dunny comes from the word 'dunce' I believe.

That would make a hell of a lot of sense... It's almost so obvious I feel like a dunny for not realising it :) Thanks kupokupo
Dunny is especially true around the area where I live as it's short for the name of our town so all the surrounding towns call us dunnys
