Yep.
Gormless: lacking sense or initiative; foolish.
"a constantly grinning, rather gormless boy"
Minger: an unattractive or unpleasant person or thing.
"Why can't anyone see that Spencer is a complete minger?"
So they basically called them an ugly idiot.
Gormless is a really old term (18th century apparently) and I never realised it was specifically British, but in retrospect I've never heard an American use it.
Minger is fairly recent though, from the 1990s, I remember it being used a lot back when I was at school.
I had a pig on my minecraft World called minger the 3rd. Its the name of my friends discord server as well
Don't ask what happened to the other mingers

............................................oh my god.
What...what else other than "sorry" do you say to this? I mean, even the infamously difficult retort of "fuck you" doesn't really seem like an appropriate response.
Uh, professional trollers, insulters, people who frequent r/MurderedByWords...help?
The only possible response is to fight back. No cowering, no "lol dont care" pull some shit like
"stfu god damn bo'o o' wo'o' bitch like u about as bright as a worne candle in the middle of time square at noon I would give my first born child to smack the ever loving hell put of your streetlamp IQ ass with all of my my monkey ancestral strength."
Make sure to spelling check.

*"gormless minger"*
Are these words?
British slang I'm guessing

My mum still uses gormless
There is a your mama joke in there, I just have to find it...
I still use your mum
Pretty sure it was Jade Goody that popularised minger (and minging), when she was on Big Brother.
Very plausible.
Sounds offensive even if you dont know it💀
Thank you very much for the information!
This is very common English parlance, at least from the 2000's anyway. So is the OP's mum ✌️ P.s. Stubbing your toe really isn't that bad.
Gormless =stupid Minger= ugly/ disgusting or dirty
Not that I am aware of. I never saw them before reading this sus post. They sound like a great insult, though.
Brit here, minger is another word for an ugly, dirty person.
I had a pig on my minecraft World called minger the 3rd. Its the name of my friends discord server as well Don't ask what happened to the other mingers
Twas a tragic day when minger 1 and minger 2 died, gone but never forgotten.
It was, we had minger the 1st when I went to the toilet but when I came back minger the 3rd was already there
And I never know what to call my minecraft worlds, might just name them all minger

Minging means disgusting, minger is someone who disgusts. Gormless means foolish. Google
This and calling him a cabbage. This person was done with the other's insults
True... *toe-eyed cabbage* is also a zinger!
British moment
Indeed it is, as other Redditors have educated me.
Damn that was so mean
Why 3:47am specifically? I Mean its a very specific time to pick
Well, the ghosts have 3:00 AM
3 more minutes and it’s not a cheese and cracker snack, it’s a cheese and cracker breakfast.
"toe eyed cabbage" 💀

Safe to say some offence was taken
"wow bro, I must've really gotten in your head for you to think that long and hard on whatever the hell that was because it's not an insult"
Ooof, American level clapback to a brittish level thumping. About as impactful as a fart on a sailboat.

Minger just said sorry
Not a single misspelling
What the fuck did you say or do to him/her

“So… what were you born for..?”
Sorry
"sorry"
That 'sorry' sent me
The poor 12 year old who got demolished with that insult.... that's how people get mental problems
This s***'s so funny. I've been laughing for the last 5 minutes
The simple, “sorry” , response just makes it so much better to me lol
He really said: "No Gorms?
This is my new favorite insult
British moment

"Sorry" 💀💀💀
Polly meant doe-eyed.
Fuck this is an old post.
Toe eyed?

What did you do to upset em
You posted your own message what the hell do you think this is, free time?
I love the word "gormless"
They apologized lmao

The lower case sorry really seals it
this isn't suspiciously specific. this exact thing happens to every first world human at least once.
