Yeah, we used to say it a lot when I was growing up in east London, but it's gone now. You call someone a "twat" or a "fucking lemon" nowadays. I do like the word, though.Are you going to start saying it in homage to Andrew Mitchell, do you think?
Ah, no, no, no. I'll be calling people a wanker or a cunt or a twat or a prick. I won't be saying pleb again because of some politician.

Oh, there are all sorts of things. Probably something like "dishonest", because it’s quite personal, you know? You'd actually be attacking my character rather than just using a blanket offensive word.Thanks, I'll remember that for next time.

Not really. If someone was to call me that, I'd probably think I'd done something stupid. I suppose it's the same as calling someone an idiot?Yeah, kind of. What’s the most insulting thing anyone's ever said to you?
I’ve never been called anything that bad, really. I’ve had people say racist things to me, but that’s because they don’t understand my culture.Or because they're idiots.

Yes, but it's the meaning behind it that's offensive. I’m not so sure of what that original meaning is, but I know it’s not pleasant.What's the most offensive thing anyone's ever said to you?
I generally try to ignore any comments that do come my way. I’ve had the odd remarks about the way I dress but I just ignore it. I'm a painter, so the way I dress is just an extension of that – colourful and eclectic. The insults are normally just a fun bit of banter, though, so I usually just laugh it off.I'll be here for you when the banter gets too real, Chris.

Nothing, really – they’re all just words at the end of the day. I suppose something that's actually true could be offensive, though. Like if you called me a know-it-all, because I kind of think I am one, but it's never nice having your suspicions confirmed about that kind of thing.Previously - What's the Sexiest Fruit?
