Same thing, although it means sneaky or little bit rude in our family. - PizzaGuy

If someone said this to me I wouldn't be offended. These insults are lame. I know they're British, but seriously? Cheeky? Is that saying that their cheks look big? - BlueTopazIceVanilla

First entered the American vernacular via George Harrison in the movie Hard Day's Night, when he muttered "I think they're Grotty", when referring to some supposedly fashionable shirts somebody asked him about.

Meaning: "Calling someone disgusting." - MontyPython

Short for "grotesque", and later co-opted from the colloquial Val-Speak by Moon Unit Zappa in the famous 1980's song "Valley Girls", but mis-spelled by the media as "Grody- to the max! "

Meaning: "Calling someone insane." - MontyPython

I use this sometimes. - PizzaGuy

Meaning: "Calling someone unattractive." - MontyPython

To the illiterate who posted the comment before mine. It is 'of course', not 'off course'. Also, punctuation isn't hard. Your computer/phone/tablet will do all the work for you.

That British insult reminds me of a Simpson episode (the older ones) that the Simpson family (including Abe) had travelled to England for a holiday, and Homer got into trouble for bad manners towards the Quern of England. LOL! 😂
