Numpty:
1)Scottish usage:
a) Someone who (sometimes unwittingly) by speech or action demonstrates a lack of knowledge or misconception of a particular subject or situation to the amusement of others.
b) A good humoured admonition, a term of endearment
c) A reckless, absent minded or unwise person a) "No. That wisnae wit she meant, ya big numpty!"
b) i.e. "Silly billy", "You big dafty"
c) "That numpty's driving with no lights on!"
2)Dialect, chiefly scots. A bumbling fool or one who is intellectually challanged.
(plural : numpties) "they numpties couldnae organise a pissup in a brewery."
Selected bits from the Urban Dictionary. Other humorous, but questionable entries were edited out.

Gads, there are so many amusing ones from the UK (my wife is English - though has lived in the States since young but maintains her British passport). One term I like is "wally"... as in "Prince Charles is a wally." There it basically means an "idiot." I'm not agreeing about Charles, but I like the term.
How about this one I just read: sophrosyne? OMMMMMMM.

Recently 'mits had to present her "documents" to renew a license... British (Manchester) birth cert was presented to the bureaucrat behind the counter, the response was: "This isn't the right certificate." REALLY?!?
She then had to make a trip back with both passports and her US citizenship papers.... and now I want to get too 'political' about the whole "ID" thing... :madder:
