The British use many terms to call someone an idiot, including "numpty" and "plonker."

The provided YouTube video excerpt mentions two examples:

  • Numpty: Used to describe someone acting foolishly. Example: "He looked a complete numpty standing there in his underwear."
  • Plonker: Used to describe someone clumsy or foolish. Example: "You plonker, you knocked over that glass."
