Do you know any Cockwombles?

[purplepoppy]

A few years ago, Trump was described as a "Tiny fingered, cheeto faced, ferret wearing shitgibbon."

I would now like to expand your vocabulary with the addition of the word , "Cockwomble."

A cockwomble is defined as a foolish obnoxious person who makes outlandish statements and behaves inappropriately while having and inflated opinion of themselves.

So apart from Trump or other politicians, do you personally know of any cockwombles?

[OneViewpoint]

I don't have any cockwombles in my personal sphere. Because I won't allow it. I will stop them dead in the middle of their lie and call them out. I've actually met very few in my lifetime. None have survived a first meeting. Amazingly some of them have been women (Karens). Don't know why that surprises me but it does.

PS - The words you people on that island come up with. Hilarious from a US English speaker's perspective. Sounds like something out of a Harry Potter story. A resident of the USA would come up with something more crude that couldn't be said in polite company.

I'm guessing Texas probably has a disproportionate number of these based on the mythologies we are fed from the time we can comprehend such as "everythings bigger in Texas" or better, or both. Plenty of them of both sexes to go around. Think in terms of Yosemite Sam six shooters and all. There are also things such as the Pecos Bill legends.
By the way you left out Trumplethinskin... just so ya know.

Texans are weirdo's and mine passive aggressive people!

This why I date up North. I never consider moving South way to much racism.

[AyChingao]

@SuperZonicGUY1992 Not all of us. Some places in cities aren't bad... SOME places. I've lived several places, the SF Bay area I loved, and Suffolk UK was cool as well

[SuperZonicGUY1992]

Aychingao Bro cool user name 😂 that is a bad ass user name bro. Cool

[blackeagle007]

@SuperZonicGUY1992 it’s too red of a state for me. Too many pro trumps.

[SuperZonicGUY1992]

@blackeagle007 I hear Texans even want to build a Trump religion or something like that.

[blackeagle007]

@SuperZonicGUY1992 ok yea that’s wayyy too extreme. Sorry Texas, I ain’t coming!

[AyChingao]

@blackeagle007 got a house here that's paid for. I'd lesve too if I could afford to

[blackeagle007]

How expensive is it there?

[OlderAndWiser]

My brother-in-law from London is a cockwomble of the highest order!

[andreasderjuengere]

I know of some. But I refuse to actually 'know' them.

"Cockwomble" indeed is a new term to me. It actually sounds somewhat nice... or at least interesting.

Therefore I will continue to refer to Trump only as ''rat'' or ''poser'' and such. He does not deserve advanced linguistic attention.

The cockwombles I met earlier in life... I pissed them off consequently, harshly and lastingly.

So meanwhile there's no one undeserving left for receiving my contempt.

For now, that is.

LOL
@purplepoppy
Thank you for bringing this wonderful insult to greater exposure as I have been using it since the ORIGINAL Wombles (of Wimbledon common) were in vogue.

I have met a fair share of Cockwombles in my life and I am glad they're out of it now.

[goaded]

There was talk of them coming back...

@goaded One can only hope. They were such a great set of role models with environmentalism as a core value

[Chazmatazz269]

Every feminist i’ve ever met matches that description apart from the obviously sexist “usually a man” part.
A great many celebrities, male and female, match that description. It seems that they think being famous makes them smart and their pedestrian opinions more valuable than others’ opinions.

[AviatorTom]

I used to work with a woman who has these attributes. No one liked her. She did a lot of solo projects, which was unusual for our department, which almost always worked in teams. I'm guessing she would be called a pussywomble. 😉

[Chazmatazz269]

Fair play on the field!

[Communicationisking]

Yeah I do haha and hope I can remember the word next time they make one of these stupid statements. It will have so much more impact too if they know what the word means. I'm excited to use it now I know what it means, I've heard the term before but never bothered to find out what it meant

[DryGermanGuy]

Not a linguist, but I'm pretty sure the cockwomble is a close relative of the twatwaffle. :-)

[ohsheeT]

No can't say I do. I know Mr Cockadoodle do

I've heard girls say any cock will do.

But I can't say I have ever meant the cockwombles. Family

[MrChinaski]

I think 90% of the world both thinks he is worthless and wonders how 52% of American voters chose him.

[SamIam96]

The shoe fits, but it doesn't roll off the tongue as easily as taco.

[DonaldDarko]

I know of one. The commie that made this post.

[Jove79]

Never heard of that nor have I ever met one. I don’t think the president of the United States is one either

[SotiCoto]

They are somewhat overrepresented among politicans.
Also professional footballers, youtube "influencers" and rap stars.

[Iron_Man]

He is cocky But successful and he’s a big man around 240 pounds not tiny little ferret And he’s tall but he cares for the people

[JesseP1nk]

FEMINAZI is an extreme or militant feminist.

[Dargil]

Who described him that way? An ex?

[DJB72]

I used to, but I tend to cut contact with them

[SuperZonicGUY1992]

Southerns love him.

[fish5505_87]
