Bawcock

"Bawcock" is an archaic word, used familiarly, meaning a fine fellow or good chap. It's a term of endearment, often used in a lighthearted or affectionate way.

Clobber. Was watching Leave It to Beaver and he said, “Gee, Dad, are you going to clobber him?” I chuckled.

Would "Nips" be going to far?

That was my grandfather‘s word for them (actually, it was “F*cking Nips"). He f*cking hated them with a passion.

I've always like cattywampus.

Too many people don't know the difference between cow, steer and bull.

This could be really useful describing the world today

ignominious suggests

ignoramus

which is perfect when you want to insult someone and expect him to have to pause to check if he knows what the word means, only to have to ask.

My crazy ex recently told me ‘hence,’ which I’m a fan of, wasn’t a word. I said, ‘no, it’s really a word, you’re just dumb.’ So my vote goes to hence.
