One word you don't hear now is "TWERP".

I haven't got the foggiest what it means, but I do know you don't want to be a "SILLY LITTLE" one....

 

"Passion killers" (Bloomers).

 

Twerp is in the Oxford dictionary. It says it means 'bounder, cad' but I always understood it to mean 'fool' or 'idiot.' I haven't heard it for a while - but I may still be a twerp!
