You'll need more than eyeliner, you plain little thing.
In Cruella, I play the baroness,
who is an icy, vicious queen of the fashion world.
So in her honor, I'd like to share some classic British insults
so that you can channel your inner baroness.
Daft as a brush.
This phrase originates from the saying soft as a brush,
referring to the tail of a fox, and also soft meaning dumb.
Twit is kind of a sweet word because you can say, oh, you twit.
But you can also say, you twit.
That's just a silly person, foolish person.
What a plonker!
That's someone who's just an idiot.
All of the other words that came into my head, I wasn't able to use.
A pillock is a fool, an idiot, or a twit.
I've done it again.
There you have it.
Classic British insults used in good health.
You twit.
Incompetent as always.
