...any favourites/un-favourites from your own childhood?
I was a child of the 70s and the following come to mind:
"Spaz" "Mong" "Flid" (as insults) there was a regional variation too "Uuur! BANSTEAD!" (the local psychiatric hospital)
"The fuzz" (police)
"Wotcha" (hi)
"Ha! SUSSED" (I caught you out/proved you wrong)
...and my favourite: "Show off, show off pick your nose and blow off!"

Prudie's comment reminds me of the RE teacher we had in my school who was so sanctimonious and holier-than-thou (despite being a Druid). Her favourite topic was that all religions were equally worthy of respect and it was completely unacceptable for anyone to mock them, or their customs and practices. At the kids' Christmas party she joined enthusiastically in the Hokey-Cokey. At the next staff meeting, when she began to get on her hobby horse I took a savage delight in explaining to her in front of the rest of the staff the origins of the said dance. She was mortified, but it shut her up!
