Pillock

A British slang term used as an insulting description for actions perceived as stupid or annoying. It originates in sixteenth-century Scandinavia, coming from the word “pillicock,” meaning “penis.” Although it was initially pronounced with this Scandinavian pronunciation, the term has shortened over time (most likely due to laziness). Consider other offensive terminology such as “retarded” or “spazz” seen throughout society.

Recomendación

The term pillock should be avoided for it dehumanizes people with mental illness or intellectual disabilities.
