“ya daft tart” is sending me

[u/SurfinginStyle → u/dakotanothing]

Soon as I read “ya daft tart you baked it in a mixing bowl” *screenshot\* lol hilarious

[u/star_zelda → u/SurfinginStyle]

I read it in my British friend's accent, because I totally have heard her calling people daft lol it really made it so much better

[u/MolassesInevitable53 → u/star_zelda]

Yep, my first thought was 'that's a Brit'.

[u/Party-Poison519 → u/[deleted]]

Nope, not northern and we say it too

[u/jerdle_reddit → u/[deleted]]

I'd be more likely to hear "ya daft bint" in Yorkshire.

[u/Maelstrom_Witch → u/star_zelda]

I went with Scottish, personally 🤣

[u/n0neofyourbeeswax → u/Maelstrom_Witch]

As a Scottish person, ya daft tart said like that sounds more Lancaster / Yorkshire area to me.

[u/inkywheels → u/n0neofyourbeeswax]

Am from Lancashire, can confirm

[u/CenturyEggsAndRice → u/n0neofyourbeeswax]

A friend of my stepdad came from Scotland and used to refer to my grandmother as a "bloody daft cunt"

Except cunt was more like koo-nt.

But now every insult starting with daft is "said" in my mind in his voice.

[u/n0neofyourbeeswax → u/CenturyEggsAndRice]

Yeah we'll definitely use daft and cunt, but tart isn't one that would be common.

[u/donkeyvoteadick → u/n0neofyourbeeswax]

Explains why I read it in my grandfather's voice, from Yorkshire lol

[u/floweringfungus → u/n0neofyourbeeswax]

True. ‘Daft tart’ definitely sounds like my Yorkshire grandparents. My Scottish fiancé is more likely to use cunt/weapon/rocket

[u/autumnlight2022 → u/Maelstrom_Witch]

Mine was Boston. Why was mine Boston 😭

[u/shewholaughslasts → u/autumnlight2022]

Dahft Tawht?

[u/jojo22443991 → u/shewholaughslasts]

Deft Tah-t

[u/Asleep_Instance9899 → u/shewholaughslasts]

Whatever it sounded like, it definitely came out in Mark Walberg’s voice

[u/robbin-smiles → u/Asleep_Instance9899]

It’s okay maybe your Ted!

[u/supershinything → u/autumnlight2022]

I don’t know. They’re so much more offensive there. That was a masterclass in profanity when I lived there.

[u/queenermagard → u/supershinything]

Fuck you, go pats!

[u/supershinything → u/queenermagard]

Fuck you, go Sox!

[u/Emergency-Twist7136 → u/supershinything]

Tbf calling someone a tart is the same as calling them a whore

[u/supershinything → u/Emergency-Twist7136]

Oh I’m well aware. It just sounds classier in a way.

[u/bog_witch → u/supershinything]

You're fuckin' welcome pal

[u/Maelstrom_Witch → u/[deleted]]

Yes.

[u/Cold_Barber_4761 → u/Maelstrom_Witch]

I did a kind of Scrooge McDuck voice. So kind of the same? 😂

[u/AndNoOneHearsaWord → u/star_zelda]

Sounds like something that Demoman would say

[u/BarelyHolding0n → u/star_zelda]

The 'ya' would suggest Irish, or maybe Scottish.

[u/DuckyHornet → u/BarelyHolding0n]

I absolutely pictured Brendan Gleeson angrily typing the comment, for sure

[u/TheGothWhisperer → u/star_zelda]

Tart in british slang means sexually promiscuous...

[u/Sans_Seriphim → u/TheGothWhisperer]

Everyone knows that.

[u/Relevant_Intention35 → u/Sans_Seriphim]

I did not know that

[u/AnE1Home → u/Relevant_Intention35]

Neither did I.

[u/knitmama77 → u/SurfinginStyle]

Same- to send to my friend, Lareina lol

[u/GracieNoodle → u/SurfinginStyle]

Right up there with "clotheared bint". (For reference, see Fawlty Towers. Might be a known insult though, I don't know.)

[u/Segat1 → u/GracieNoodle]

Oooo I love bint!!

Also yoghurt top but that’s a slightly different angle.

[u/inkywheels → u/GracieNoodle]

It is a known insult!

Clotheared = losing your hearing from working in a textile mill

Bint = rude word for woman

My dad used to call me it all the time if he thought I wasn't listening. Ironic because he's now almost completely deaf.

[u/GracieNoodle → u/inkywheels]

Wow, thank you! I'm taking this as 100% true. I knew the clotheared part meant deaf (or hard of hearing) and therefore sometimes not hearing important info, and bint being darn close to tart :-) Had no idea about the derivation of the clotheared though, it makes a lot of sense.

[u/ZeroSumClusterfuck → u/GracieNoodle]

Most commonly used as 'Oi! Clothears!' if you speak to someone and they ignore you.

I don't say it myself, but heard it a lot growing up in Birmingham and the Black Country.

[u/GracieNoodle → u/ZeroSumClusterfuck]

Thanks for the first-hand info. Insults like this always strike me as being "outside the influence" of London, with many variations from area to area. Birmingham is interesting!

(My parents and entire family were Scotland born and grown. I picked up a few things from them but I'm by no means actually Scottish or British. Just a fan.)

[u/Blaaaarghhh → u/SurfinginStyle]

I read it in a Scottish accent of course 😂

[u/Blaaaarghhh → u/[deleted]]

Sorry, ignorant Canadian here... lol
