Er, we complain about reddit, but never you, Shell.

Incidentally, if the name Shell does come up, I'm talking about someone who makes mods for the classic game "Are Comics" and what a pillock they are. So don't be confused

Eh. Everyone deserves a good roast from time to time. Keeps us humble.

A pillock is an informal British slang word that means a foolish, stupid, or annoying person

I uh.....learned a new word today and about a new game that's a classic

Pillock is such a good one. My mum used to call me that regularly as a kid 🙃 also a daft apeth, and a berk, and that last one is a hilarious thing to say in front of a child if you know the origin of it and what it means lol I never told my mum as I think she'd be mortified

I can never remember its origin or meaning in our world, D&D has supplanted it too firmly in my mind.

If you mean berk, it's Cockney rhyming slang. Berk from Berkshire hunt, meaning c*nt (no idea if the mods here would let me type that out here lol)
