This is one of my favourite English insults, because it does not sound very rude at all but in fact could hardly be much ruder (rhyming slang for Berkshire Hunt).
My Mum uses it and clearly has no idea what it really means.

I love rhyming slang. I think it needs to be imported to the U.S. though it'd most likely flop.
"Thrups", "Khyber", "Shermans", "apples", "skyrocket", "Chevy Chase". The list goes on. So colorful; I love it.
