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.
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.
