Please Rick, do not get fixated on a Scottish term for the half-witted.

English is a glorious language and TV has helped us evolve a whole new generation of petty insults.

Roughly equivalent to "Numpty" is "Muppet" as in "You're a right Muppet!

Others to consider are:

Stronger than Numpty:
You are a Nutter!
What a Chav! (More to do with bad taste)
You're a divvy (comes from divot meaning Clod)
What an eejit (in a sort of Irish brogue)
Manky so & so (as in disgusting)

Level with Numpty
You are a prize Pillock!
What a Berk!
You're a Git!
Dozy so & so (quite mild really)
What a Plonker!
What a Wally!

There - a selection of very British terms to nearly insult your friends with

Pip Pip (30s term really)
