Yesterday a friend of mine commented on his Facebook page that his brother was a "Cotton Headed Ninny Muggins"! This name, I thought was pretty funny and unique. I thought he had made it up, but I decided to Google the term anyway and see what came up. To my surprise, as soon as I had Cotton Headed typed in, it came up with Ninny Muggins as a possible search term! I was shocked! 
It turned out that it from a movie with Will Ferrell called 'The Elf'

Do you know of any names for calling people that are sillier than Cotton Headed Ninny Muggins?
Have you heard this name before?

Well, as I was becoming more and more frustrated watching our "beloved but sh*te" Carlisle United on Saturday..I shouted out..."Gary Madine, get into the penalty box you f*cking lazy tw*t!"
I didn't know what came over me and at least half a dozen people in front of us all looked round in unison as if to say, "WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!"
Needless to say I was extremely embarrassed
and spent the next five minutes apologising. About three quarters of the ground left early when Dagenham and Redbridge's second goal went in (including me and John). That's extremely rare. So I guess a load of people felt like I did but kept it locked up inside.
They really were sh*te though. Didn't try, weren't interested in winning the game and, playing at home, that just ain't good enough. The team we were playing are in the bottom 3 so we're expected to beat them. People pay good money to watch Carlisle and they keep letting us down, week after week. I don't mind if we lose and play OK but lose and play badly, well, it hurts.

You always make me laugh Jane!
"you f*cking lazy tw*t!" is probably more appropriate at a football game than Cotton Headed Ninny Muggins, but if you had used this term, then you might not have had to apologise as much! 
Sport can be frustrating at times can't it. That's why I was so happy that my team were the champions this year. After being let down by poor performances at critical moments in previous years, it was awesome to see them dominate so strongly this year.

I think I might shout out "You Cotton Headed Ninny Muggins" next time and I'm hoping people will laugh instead of giving me black looks!
It won't be until the New Year my next visit to Brunton Park because I'm off to Mum's on Saturday and will spend all of Christmas there. It will help me to calm down, although if I find out that Carlisle have lost against Exeter whilst I've been away, my blood pressure will be sky high and, no doubt, I shall swear at the telly instead!
I'm so pleased your team played so well and WON something, unlike our shower. A team of one-legged wallabies would play better..and probably score as well.
After the game on Saturday the whole team was spotted in Walkabout (a bar inherited from Oz) so it didn't take them long to get over their disappointment! I would've made them jog around the pitch about a 100 times, followed by a thousand press-ups! And yes, I would have a whip!
Hahaha!

I went into an Aussie themed bar in London that I think was called Walkabout! Are there a chain of them, or was your team in London? They should be concentrating on their fitness, rather than spending time at a bar. 
My team are already back in training for next year. They only had a month off after their end of season victory, before they jetted off to Arizona in the USA for their annual high altitude training camp in the desert. The season does not start again until March!

Hi Hatley, I loved it too. My kids were calling each other Cotton Headed Ninny Muggins over and over last night after we heard it!
It is much better than most words that are used for venting your frustrations at stupid people!

That’s funny! I have not heard of that expression before! It may just be one we will end up using ourselves! “A kangaroo lose in the top paddock” and “A couple of sandwiches short of a picnic” are some of our favourite ways of saying that someone is not a “full quid”!
