    When you stop the car to let people pull out onto the road and they don't acknowledge you. Young women are the worst offenders.

    It's actually more of a slur if you call a woman a wanker. Because you're not even acknowledging her gender. When you call a woman a bitch/cow etc. there is some recognition of her being a female. When you call her a wanker or a stupid prick then it's quite crass.

    I enjoy calling women dickheads. There's always that half a second of people trying to work out whether it makes sense or not.

    I guess that "****" could also apply to female masturbation.

    Nope, not really, will just make you sound like a real weirdo, and get you some strange looks :)

    Calling a guy a bitch on the other hand...now THAT works a treat :)

    VICE journalists. Particularly the ones who write the click bait articles on facebook and social media. You can smell the self loathing, post colonial guilt off of them.

    People who buy winter tyres and tell everyone they bought winter tyres and won't stop extolling the virtues of winter tyres and telling you how they need winter tyres in case snow gets in the way of their silly commute from South Dublin to the middle of Dublin to do some unimportant job in a boring office for a company you've probably never heard of before.

    People get winter tyres in Ireland?

    Low testosterone males who bitch and whine about toxic masculinity -- and try to weasel their slimy way into women's goodbooks with ass kissing and automatic deference


    People who latch onto any excuse to be a bully or a ****head while feeling justified about it. A glance at a SJW's twitter page will suffice as an example


    who the Fook is SJW???? pardon my ignorance.

    Men wearing any sort of hat while driving a car. This covers baseball capped yahoo's with bucket sized exhausts on their 1 litre Micra, through fedora wearing hipsters and "otherkin", to old men on country roads wearing tweed caps on their shiny pates. All have atomic level potential as tossers and awful awful drivers.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    I hope some day someone parks up beside them preaching that God doesn't exist.
