From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Hello, I listen to TalkSport Radio in a morning, [from about 7am], one of the presenters called Alan Brazil often calls people Numpty, ie "You are a Numpty", so waht is a numpty, it can't be a swear word, or they wouldent let him say it on the radio in a morning. |

It generally means a bit of a pillock - wally - dipstick - plonker - prat - silly billy - dippy doo - an all round silly bu**er. A person who has done something a bit silly / dizzy / daft/ idiotic. A Scottish term, but not usually a nasty term. Ella |
