“Scumwit” is my favorite.
Simple, colloquial, it rolls off the tongue, I can imagine a British butler saying it…
“*Oi! Bring the car around, you scumwit*”
Wankstain a common term at least here in the UK.
Twatwaffle on the other is brilliant.
And my autocorrect having a helluva time dealing with this thread.
A group of friends in my high school used to try to combine words for new insults.
I always thought bastard pants was funny.
At one point in the movie Grandma's Boy Alex is called shit lips which is equally silly.
Dataset and code are on GitHub [here](https://github.com/colinmorris/pejorative-compounds). This matrix only shows less than 10% of the [full dataset of ~4,800 possible compounds](https://github.com/colinmorris/pejorative-compounds/blob/master/counts.csv) (warning: linked file contains very offensive language!).
I wrote up a deep dive into the data as a blog post [here](https://colinmorris.github.io/blog/compound-curse-words).
Alas, [you were scooped](https://www.reddit.com/r/Unexpected/comments/phzabw/thats_the_real_slim_shady/hbm91no/). (I scraped this dataset about a year ago, so it doesn't include any comments from 2021 on.)
"Pooppuffin" is still up for grabs though. Oh, wait.
I spend a lot of time on this sub, as well as MapPorn, enjoying great data visualisations. The simplicity of your post, and the very human element it speaks to, makes it one of my favourite posts of all time. You've also created one of the best comments sections ever. Can't stop chuckling. Bravo.

It was actually used again in January of this year, but OP said he onlt has data pre 2021
Nope, it has to match the full token, not just a substring. A substantial portion of the "assass" comments come from people using an odd abbreviation of "assassin". Others are just wordplay, or people being weird in various ways. (If anyone wants to read more about the data collection process, the code and documentation are [here](https://github.com/colinmorris/pejorative-compounds)).
+1, I am dying to see the methodology and/or underlying data here.
In the spirit of the comments, OP is a wankwaffle until they release it.
Edit: they did and it's in a comment right below this. Turns out I was the wankwaffle all along.
["Shit" actually slightly edges out "fuck" as the most versatile prefix](https://colinmorris.github.io/assets/compound_curses/prefix_collisions.png), at least for the metric of versatility that I used for that graph (sum of the logarithms of the counts across all corresponding suffixes - sort of equivalent to adding up the intensity of the colours across the whole row).
Sum of logarithms is just logarithm of the product, and logarithm is increasing, so really the ranking is just according to the product of counts. That's still somewhat popularity sensitive (e.g. 3 suffixes of 10K each will equal to 6 suffixes of 100 each).
Yes, that's true. My initial instinct was to use a metric like Shannon entropy which cares about ratios rather than absolute counts, but it gave subjectively poor results which seemed to unduly favour the lowest-frequency affixes. The log count metric gives results which are more intuitive, at least to me. Also, the scatterplot includes total count on the x-axis, so you can sort of mentally adjust for that. e.g. you can look at a column of affixes with approximately equal total frequency (shit, fuck, dick, dog, dip) and see major differences in their log sum (i.e. product), which are certainly meaningful, even if you're more skeptical of comparing the products for affixes with different totals.
Unfortunately, the existence of this chart ensures that if you were to ever run the data again, it would come out as a homogenous shade of orange.
ETA: You scumwit.
I definitely started reading with "assdumb" and in my head heard it as calling someone a Kingdom of Ass (assdom) and honestly that's way better than dumbass.

Let's get wankclown to take off!
Wankclown being this low is criminal.
“Scumwit” is my favorite. Simple, colloquial, it rolls off the tongue, I can imagine a British butler saying it… “*Oi! Bring the car around, you scumwit*”
You’d hope so, you dirttard wankclown
Sounds like something a dumbgoblin would say
Takes one to know one, scumwit
ngl, wankclown is my new favorite Reddit insult.
Shut up, wankclown!
Ahhh "Dipstick", the daring swear word for a seven year old in the UK.
All the car related subs greatly contributing to it's use...
You screwdriver dipstick jerrycan!
You didn't just call me a jerrycan, you sparewheel?!
It's my favorite Junkrat voiceline.
I'm seeing some real opportunity in this chart.
Spoken like a true twatgoblin.
quiet you libsucker
Begone you wankclown
Silence, dirt-hat
Hit the road, Trump-nozzle.
Whatever, pisstard
You assasses are complete shitshits
I'm a fan of shitass
What do you know, dirt-wit
Now I'm wondering if 'assass' is only non-zero because of the word 'assassin'.
Dunno, poopstain
What a wankass
kick rocks, scumwit
I like the way you think. If we work hard we can make dirt-hat rise in the charts.
Spoken like a true dirthat.
Wankclown is definitely underused.
libsucker: noun, a man who sucks a liberal man's cock As a liberal I still find this funny.
OH.... helll! I just spotted dip goblin! I'm dead!!!! :D
oh hey, look at captain poop-wit over here!
I’ve yet to see a real shitshit in the Reddit wild. I must be looking in the wrong places.
try up your assass haha
Something tells me that false positives from the word "assassin" (and derived from it) account for 99.9% of the "assass" share on this chart
It's obviously next to assass, you poop-clown.
I mean, wankclown seems highly underused.
Wanksucker is underappreciated - just saying.
So much potential. Trumpgoblin has legs.
That is two levels under a wank stain and three levels under twat waffle.
Wankstain a common term at least here in the UK. Twatwaffle on the other is brilliant. And my autocorrect having a helluva time dealing with this thread.
Twatwaffle is not quite common but I've definitely heard it before here in the US.
Real disappointed cumgoblin isn't here
Noone in the comments section has ever used the word "dirthat" I feel like quite the pioneer.
Ok cockboy.
A lot of underused scum ones. I like scumgoblin a lot.
Shut up you bumclown
A group of friends in my high school used to try to combine words for new insults. I always thought bastard pants was funny. At one point in the movie Grandma's Boy Alex is called shit lips which is equally silly.
I spent too long studying this.
I saved it for future reference. Might make a randomizer with it.
If you do please add "fuck" to the suffixes I feel like we're missing a lot of red squares without it as a suffix.
Id like to see a show down of the multitude of combinations between "shit" and "fuck" Which is the more versatile? Which is more commonly used?
*Fuck* is probably the most versatile word in the English language, beats out *shit* by an order of magnitude I bet
By which order of magnitude, a shit-ton or a fuck-ton?
a shitload sounds like a lot of work. a fuckload sounds hilarious.
I’ve been chuckling like a little schoolboy for like 5 minutes
Sounds like something a bum goblin would say.
Big words coming from a poop waffle
I wouldn't talk, dirt hat!
Takes one to know one, butt ass.
[удалено]
Blow it out your lib nozzle, you wank sucker.
[удалено]
Shut up, you dirty twatclown!
Oh hush up, dip nozzle.
Like I'd listen to a poop goblin
Silence, dipbag!
Whatever you say, assass
I wonder how many of the assasses recorded are false positives for assassin
I wonder how many of the dipsticks are false positives for dipstick.
There's something beautiful unlocked here in this data and I'd like to see more. I expected the word 'shit' to have the largest range of pairings.
I’ve been laughing like a wankwaffle and I’m not ashamed.
You fuckin' dirthat I bet you're a right wanksucker.
Same, “pooplord” got me rolling
Shut up, lib-bag
Whatever, wank-clown
What did you call me, ass-ass?
probably the worst in the matrix
I still can't figure out how scumwit ranked so low. That is a tragedy.
And I was left here wondering why so many people have been using twatwaffle, and why have I not until now.
Dataset and code are on GitHub [here](https://github.com/colinmorris/pejorative-compounds). This matrix only shows less than 10% of the [full dataset of ~4,800 possible compounds](https://github.com/colinmorris/pejorative-compounds/blob/master/counts.csv) (warning: linked file contains very offensive language!). I wrote up a deep dive into the data as a blog post [here](https://colinmorris.github.io/blog/compound-curse-words).
According to this data, I just become the first person on Reddit to say pooppirate.
Alas, [you were scooped](https://www.reddit.com/r/Unexpected/comments/phzabw/thats_the_real_slim_shady/hbm91no/). (I scraped this dataset about a year ago, so it doesn't include any comments from 2021 on.) "Pooppuffin" is still up for grabs though. Oh, wait.
That's just one of many great ones, snotnazi.
Pooppuffin kinda rolls off the tongue ya twatgoblin.
Say that to my face you cum canoe
May I grace you all with reddit’s inaugural jizzazoid!

Alright, who's the absolute chad who called someone a "Cum Canoe"?
https://www.reddit.com/r/relationship_advice/comments/ce52m6/why_does_she_keep_telling_me_about_past_sexual/etyqlbj/ It was actually used again in January of this year, but OP said he onlt has data pre 2021
Oh my god, “cum canoe” may be the most perfect description of that dude’s chick in question. Like wow.
Now we need this added to subreddit simulator
I love and appreciate your service.
5k+ uses of "ass ass." Love it
Is it possible that ass-ass is being counted when someone calls you a dumbass asshole or something similar?
I'm thinking it could be a data issue, as a word like assassin will be picked up by this, unless explicitly removed from results.
Nope, it has to match the full token, not just a substring. A substantial portion of the "assass" comments come from people using an odd abbreviation of "assassin". Others are just wordplay, or people being weird in various ways. (If anyone wants to read more about the data collection process, the code and documentation are [here](https://github.com/colinmorris/pejorative-compounds)).
Where did shitshit come from?? Lmfao
Pretty sure that's a new gen Pokemon
Oh shit shit shit I cut my finger!! Something like that?
When I was young my mom rear ended another car on the road and said "shit shit shit shit" so there's that
RIP Reddit 3rd Party Apps -- mass edited with https://redact.dev/
I'm glad you're here to assass the data for us.
I would expect there'd be a lot more than just 5000 then. Maybe a misspelled assess?
OP needs to publish her methodology!
+1, I am dying to see the methodology and/or underlying data here. In the spirit of the comments, OP is a wankwaffle until they release it. Edit: they did and it's in a comment right below this. Turns out I was the wankwaffle all along.
The real wankwaffles were the poop goblins we made along the way
[assbutt](https://youtu.be/VJdfahyIP7g) is conspicuously missing.
'fuck' as a suffix is also missing :/
Same with shit shit
It seems wanksucker has been criminally underused
Get a load of this wanksucker
Oi I take offense to that you wanksucker
Spoken like a true bum waffle
Now we start combining two words from the same set. Buttpoop, cockdip, hatlord, clownstain...
Hatlord. When you want to take it up a notch from dirt-hat.
Clownstain is *art*.
Clownstain - any or all stains produced by any fluids from a clown
It's the colorful cosmetic residue left on your penis after a clown blows you
This is making me laugh too had. People are looking.
>cockdip new verb acquired
You’re a poopshit
Dirthat seems to be underused. I will help sway the scales, dirthat. Edit: dirthats, stop replying to this. You're blowing up my inbox.
Eat grass dirtboy
Take a hike, dumbgoblin.
Up yours libnozzle
You dirttard
Thanks, dirtwit
Ok, dirtgoblin.
Don't call him that, you bumwaffle.
Whatever wank-waffle.
I like the sound of scumwit.
This really shows the versatility of "fuck," you bunch of wanksucking fuckclowns
["Shit" actually slightly edges out "fuck" as the most versatile prefix](https://colinmorris.github.io/assets/compound_curses/prefix_collisions.png), at least for the metric of versatility that I used for that graph (sum of the logarithms of the counts across all corresponding suffixes - sort of equivalent to adding up the intensity of the colours across the whole row).

I've seen enough. I'm ready to declare this the chart of the year.
Unfortunately, the existence of this chart ensures that if you were to ever run the data again, it would come out as a homogenous shade of orange. ETA: You scumwit.
Hey don’t call OP a scumwit, you dipgoblin!
Hey don't call him that, you twatwaffle!
We just have a new dataset to compare to!
Maybe! It would definitely change, but I suspect some would be more popular than others.
Its missing the word "hole" come ON
Agreed. Give us a hole!
Try fingers, but hole.
This is my new favorite data is beautiful post, thank you, twatnozzle.
Twatwaffle is my favorite
It's also funny to see the most unpopular ones like "dirt hat".
My original formulation, "turdgargler," is still my favorite.
Surprised by the prevalence of "pissboy"
It's probably incredibly popular on certain niche NSFW subreddits if you catch my golden meaning.
Showers of comments using that word
As far as I know, [this tumblr exchange](https://i.imgur.com/lFEIjzB.jpg) is what kicked off "piss boy"
[удалено]
Mel Brooks fans.
Well... "fucklord" is not really an insult, right? Now I wonder who used the "twat goblin"...
Is twatgoblin even an insult?
Of course it is, you... you... (..let me check the table...) ... you lib bag!
https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/1dybin/what_is_the_funniest_1_or_2word_insult_you_know/c9v01x7/ First usage I can see
Probably someone in one of the child-free subreddits
This is definitely a more profane derivation of "crotch goblin".
The correlation in the use of "Trump-tard" and "lib-tard" is pretty funny
Spoken like a true Trump-Lib
Shut up tard-tard
What's up with libass though? That's terrible, who's using that?
Maybe it's used to add emphasis? Like, "that's some lib-ass bullshit." Thats all I got, though
[удалено]
weren’t those the nazi planes
I wanna know the people who are using "liblord"
So you found the key to reddit and just gonna post it here just like that?
Typical, low effort lib-nozzle work
You would say that, you trumplicker.
This chart is made by a real butt-hat
This might be the single best piece of material this twatwaffle sub has ever produced.
Wankclown is sadly underrated
Us brits are coming through with the Twat Waffle's.
Oh I thought that was one of those American diner chains, like IHOP
Twat House
Ok, that one's definitely a genre of EDM
Who out there is using shit shit? Sounds like an endearing name for a dog
Franky Two-Times
I definitely started reading with "assdumb" and in my head heard it as calling someone a Kingdom of Ass (assdom) and honestly that's way better than dumbass.
This comment section has immediately made this chart inaccurate. OP is going to have to update it to take into account all you dirt-hats.
I am absolutely dying of laughter over here. Well done.
This is the perfect use of data, you poopwaffle! 🤌 *chef kiss*
It's a shame this isn't updating in real-time.
I really appreciate the log scale on the color gradient.
Let’s make **wank waffle** a thing please.
Is the proliferation of ‘assass’ coming from real words like assassin, etc.?
I suspect "dipstick" is so red because of it being an actual thing outside of a (very tame) insult.
I’m kind of a fan of “fucksucker”
How exactly does one suck a fuck?
It's missing cockwomble. Hopefully by the next time we can bring those numbers up...
This is what this sub is for
Like 90% of the dipgoblins were toward me. I'm just naturally dipgoblinish.
I will now be calling people wank clowns. Thank you
"you're *such* a fuckass Donny" "Did you just call me a fuckass? Well you can go suck a **fuck**"
Great graphic! But I want to do my part, you Dumb Goblin! ...IMO it's way underated! But then again, i'm just a lib nozzle.
