Limited vocabulary

And so it came to pass that I was walking to the pub. And some drunk teenagers were insulting everyone who passed them.

They were quite creative. A man with a full and impressive beard got called 'Man with a monkey for a face', for example.

So you'll appreciate I was looking forward to walking past them. I mean, 'fucking cripple' is passe these days, and these guys seemed to be imaginative, so I was hoping for something a little more than the usual.

And when it came?

'Hopalong.'

I mean, really. Come on boys. What is this? 1981? Surely you can do better than that. Some word play on 'spastic' at the very least.

I blame the education system.
