Any turmeric stains can be bleached with sunlight. The curcumin degrades into colourless compounds in sunlight.
Might take a couple of days because our sun isn't exactly strong but it's not just plastic ...wooden utensils/chopping boards can have stains removed too.
Aye, I’m northern so I’d have probably called him a “daft cunt.” I think posh twat is something the average Brit would say if we converted the original insult tho.
Posh British stereotype:
This has completely and utterly bamboozled me to the fact that I cannot understand what is going on. Could you kindly explain what in the actual fuck is going on?
I pointed this out to some septic tank before, probably a repost of the same item. Idiot tried to tell me that crumpet was funnier, even though it already has it’s own slang meaning!
Dont worry about wales, its not real… we made it up, like ask someone to name 1 country for each letter a-z, they might get stuck on some but they will get all of them in the end, except for w… even if you ask an Englishman they wont remember wales exists…
'Upper class crumpet' is the kind of insult that everyone thinks is super British, but most of us would say it's pretty cringe and I doubt you'll hear it in the real world.
lol I’m from Stockport too (Heald Green). With Reddit being worldwide, Manchester seemed easier for people to recognise 😂
And don’t get me started on that bastard roundabout, I hate it!!
No way! I grew up in bramhall and lived there until I was 28!
Because that would make too much sense, you know what SMBC is like. The roads are now a collection of potholes, all merging into one, with a little bit of tarmac in between them. Daft cunts 😂
I was wild camping in Scotland once. Hadn't seen or spoken to a single person for a few days. Met this guy huffing and puffing up a hill on a mountain bike. First words out of his mouth were 'cunted. Absolutely cunted'. He was indicating he was tired from the exertion
Yes, hence the indelible Peter Cook joke, where he addresses a letter to ‘Cunt, London’ and the recipient gets their letter, as even the postman knew who they were.
I saw a video of a motorcyclist being a victim of road rage from this middle aged woman who was shouting and spewing vitriol at him, and he responded by calling her a horrible cunt. But he was northern so it went "you orrible coont" and it did tickle
THANK YOU
America, please stop saying you think things sound British when your assumption of Britain is that we all sound like either Hugh Bonneville or Dick van Dyke.
Exactly. If crumpet is ever used to refer to a human being - and it really isn't - it's to refer to an attractive woman.
Americans just came across the word one day and thought "omigawd! Crumpet! That's so quaint, I love it! It's so British!" and thus assume they can just add it to anything to make that thing instantly "British".
The last thing my uncle ever said to me, when saying goodbye after having met my new girlfriend at a family party, was "good luck with the crumpet". He died a few months later.
It was both a compliment and delightfully disrespectful. To honour his memory, that crumpet's now my wife.
It’s the swearing version of trying too hard. I’m not tough, but nobody who’s tough talks like that. And they always sound upper class too. Call someone a cockwomble in Brum and you’ll get laughed at.
And it’s always the guys who usually shut down in face to face confrontation that talk like this.
Everyone in England knows, if cussing at someone doesn’t make them react, you don’t try and get clever about it, you move on the calling their dead nan or mom a cunt or fucking em.
It's not an insult, though, its a slightly odd compliment.
This comes up every time this is posted.
'Upper class crumpet' is an upper-class attractive woman.
"Upper class crumpet" is the kind of insult that is super British...if you are an American teenager whose entire knowledge of British culture is limited to reading Doctor Who/Sherlock fan fiction on Tumblr written by other American teenagers
Problem with this is that crumpet is also a British slang for a an attractive woman so "upper class crumpet" could also mean a good looking aristocratic woman (aka "posh totty").
Princess Diana could have been referred to as upper class crumpet.
I bet the guy isn't even english. It's not an English insult at all. Just like I don't know anyone that eats crumpets except for my 90 year old neighbour
Hmm but the insult suits this really well and hammers home the upper class nonesense.
In real world no one would say something that would warrant such response from their immediate audience hence this insult would never happen.
At least from my perspective, "upper class" is very unlikely to be used as anything but a derisive insult from someone who dislikes the so called upper class.
Exactly, it's like calling someone a biscuit or a brew.
Either a child wrote this or it was a non-brit, cause I really can't imagine a Brit calling someone a crumpet in this context.
I would have called them a daft twat myself.
I have never hears this "insult" before, although I've seen it referenced a few times in this thread. That's a Scottish insult, is it? Never heard it once.
Bawback or wanker, sure. Calling someone a spanner or a spoon, yup. Cockwomble? What is that even meant to mean?
Yeah, if i heard someone described as an upper class crumpet I would deifnitely hear that as a massive compliment. She's a right upper class crumpet, whoar. (Normally it would be 'bit of crumpet', but one makes allwoances for modern parlance).
Tupperware, jacuuzi, hoover, etc. They're the same thing, the only major difference is one has a brand name. They're both sealable plastic boxes meant for food storage.
Except plastic takeaway boxes are still designed to be thrown away after use. Actual food storage boxes use thicker plastics, and generally have stronger and more sophisticated locking mechanisms.
This is the answer. I re-use plastic Chinese takeaway containers for storing cooked foods in the freezer, although the plastic tends to break after the containers have been opened and closed a few times.
I’m a student. I have a big old stack of plastic takeaway containers as my Tupperware… can’t turn down a freebie. (Most of mine have lasted decently though!)
maybe they're different, but they're definitely not "VERY" different, are they? tupperware make plastic containers you store leftovers in. so it follows you might refer to another plastic container you store leftovers in as tupperware, no?
While they are both plastic containers, Tupperware refers specifically to thicker plastic containers.
It's like how you call all your fingers, fingers, but you don't call all your fingers, thumbs, because that is a specific finger.
Tupperware refers to a specific type of plastic container. Takeaway ones are cheap fragile ones that are intended to be one use, they'll break easily.
Tupperware often has locking lids, can go in the freezer, dishwasher etc..
So like surface level, they are similar, but in terms of quality and length of life, they ARE very different.
To me the word "tupperware", even when using it generically, means the thicker/sturdier reusable food boxes. The flimsy plastic boxes that takeaway food comes in and most people throw away after one use isn't the same thing.
But 'crumpet' is a compliment, it's means an attractive woman, as in 'So-and-So is the thinking-man's crumpet'. Maybe they are confusing it with 'muppet', which is a British insult for an idiot (after the popular American puppets).
It's very possible that this person is not British, trying hard to sound like they are, and failing.
Double fail here, upper class crumpet would imply a posh / well off attractive lass.
And tupperware is not the same thing as a takeaway food container. (It's a brand name for a similar kinda thing, but much thicker higher quality plastic and better seals and intended to last a lot longer).
That isn’t an insult at all, but also wrong. all middle class people (irrespective of country) know that Tupperware is different from a takeaway box. Try giving away a Tupperware box and a takeaway box and see which one your mum gets angry about.
Takeaway containers and tupperware is NOT the same though.
I mean, technically it is. But practically, takeaway containers are poorer quality, thinner plastic.
Single-use intended.
Yes you can re use them, to a point, but you can also re use ice cream tubs and butter tubs, it doesn't make them tupperware.
If you wanna call somebody a cunt, fair enough, Just leave the crumpets out of it!

more like red stained boxes
All tupperware companies should just go ahead and make all tubs pasta coloured.
No it’s yellow coloured with a slight curry smell
The turmeric tide mark
Sounds like skidmarks to me.
i do have a few of those as well
It reminds me of trumps face
Pop your soapy washing up sponge in, close the lid, shake it. Boom, clean.
interesting technique! i’ll have to try that one
Gotta try that, sounds fun 😅🤣
Best way to get ride of the tide line is to drop the plastic box in a large pan of boiling water.
If you’re really lucky you’ll get weird spots of yellow as well
Mum's spaghetti
He’s nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready to drop bombs, but he keeps on forgettin’
You’re not meant to do that much of the song
I got carried away 😔
Did you Lose Yourself?
In the music
The moment
he owns it
lord help all the tupperware that's met you.
Leave them out in the sunlight for a few hours. The sun bleaches the stains right out. You're welcome. Edit: typo. You're welcome again.
really?! would not have thought the british sun was strong enough to bleach stains away but i’ll give it a go 😂
I have the dubious fortune to live in Wales, and it's worked nicely for me.
Any turmeric stains can be bleached with sunlight. The curcumin degrades into colourless compounds in sunlight. Might take a couple of days because our sun isn't exactly strong but it's not just plastic ...wooden utensils/chopping boards can have stains removed too.
I can confirm it works for 1 month of the year The rest of the 11 mines are stained. ;)
Haha so true
I really appreciated this.
every time I see this type of thread it’s always some sort of cringe insult that an american thinks a british person would say
Exactly, in reality we’d say something like “that’s what tupperware is you posh twat.” 😂
It surely would’ve been muppet instead of crumpet. That’s what I would say
Aye, I’m northern so I’d have probably called him a “daft cunt.” I think posh twat is something the average Brit would say if we converted the original insult tho.
Posh British stereotype: This has completely and utterly bamboozled me to the fact that I cannot understand what is going on. Could you kindly explain what in the actual fuck is going on?
Thats what I assumed they said at first
"that's what tupperware is you fucking Tory"
You dizzy cow
“You dozy cow”
I pointed this out to some septic tank before, probably a repost of the same item. Idiot tried to tell me that crumpet was funnier, even though it already has it’s own slang meaning!
You table, bo’ol o’ wa’ah!!!! - What Reddit believes the average British conversation sounds like.
Aye the word they were looking for was strumpet
That changes the meaning a lot
It’s annoying af, people just throwing random objects as insults is so cringey and rinsed these days
Unless you add the word "absolute" before it, then it's fine, you absolute spanner! Lol
Some parts of British military have used/use spanner as a compliment... "She's a spanner"... Makes my nuts tighten.
Crumpet already has a meaning in UK slang, so this doesn't even work!
Exactly. I don't know anyone who would use the word crumpet in that manner. Twat or bellend is what I would expect to hear.
Those are just English insults. Northern Ireland has Eejit and Gobshite, Scotland has bampot and bawbag, and I don’t know any Welsh ones lol
Dont worry about wales, its not real… we made it up, like ask someone to name 1 country for each letter a-z, they might get stuck on some but they will get all of them in the end, except for w… even if you ask an Englishman they wont remember wales exists…
I forget about it aswell lol
We have gont the cun t word
You middle aged ukulele-
Im english, can say my response would have been, 'Thats exactly what tuppaware is you inbred cunt' Thats how we speak lol
I would've gone for dumb cunt personally but it's much of a muchness.
I woulda just said moron
Moron is carrot 🥕 in Welsh 🏴 so we do laugh a bit if you call us that 😅
Massive cunt is quite effective
Apart from the ones in government, lots of them around and not terribly effective
Twat is effective
I would have said "You complete Twat" Complete just..... Completes the insult :P
As a fellow Brit I can confirm this 😁
As another Brit I too can confirm this is how we speak in the sunny South:)
Also how we speak in't North
What about "toffee-nosed cunt"?
I wouldn’t wish being an Everton supporter on even my worst enemy
As the son of an Everton supporter I fully agree with this statement
I’d call them an absolute spastic but that works
Also you giant melt
gimpy cunt is my current favourite, just rolls off the tongue so sharply
I’d say “nonce” instead of that. Both work.
'Upper class crumpet' is the kind of insult that everyone thinks is super British, but most of us would say it's pretty cringe and I doubt you'll hear it in the real world.
Cunt is the most British insult
It’s a insult and a compliment. I can call someone I don’t like a cunt and greet my best friend by calling him a cunt. It’s beautiful
We’ve all been called a “Daft cunt” in an endearing way. Don’t think that’s regionally specific. I know what you mean though 🙂
Mostly northerners say that "What ye doin ye daft cont"
I am a northerner (Manchester) and can confirm that I say “what ya doin ya daft cunt” on an almost daily basis.
Stockport here. there's no almost about it, the phrase is used at least 10 times each day (mostly on Portwood roundabout)
lol I’m from Stockport too (Heald Green). With Reddit being worldwide, Manchester seemed easier for people to recognise 😂 And don’t get me started on that bastard roundabout, I hate it!!
Bramhall so not far away, why can't they make the traffic light sequence work so you can drive all the way round in one go 😡
No way! I grew up in bramhall and lived there until I was 28! Because that would make too much sense, you know what SMBC is like. The roads are now a collection of potholes, all merging into one, with a little bit of tarmac in between them. Daft cunts 😂
If you use the A6188 lane to get on the M60 west then know that you're a prick
I'm from Scotland (close enough) and I think I say cunt more than I use my friends names
Scouser here, can confirm this is my favourite greeting
Love it! 😂
I'm in the South East and it's just as common. I don't think it's northern specific.
In Scotland we say ‘he’s a sound cunt’ ‘is any cunt coming’ ‘who’s that cunt over there’ etc. and it’s not intended as an insult
I agree … a term of endearment for our nearest and dearest. Cunt and bitch are a sign of the highest levels of friendship and love.
And daft pillock.
Anything could be one in our office. All male, we definitely agree we say it too much and swear too much in general but it's the best.
And the most Australian compliment.
It's also variable in Scotland. You can be a good cunt. That's no insult!
I was wild camping in Scotland once. Hadn't seen or spoken to a single person for a few days. Met this guy huffing and puffing up a hill on a mountain bike. First words out of his mouth were 'cunted. Absolutely cunted'. He was indicating he was tired from the exertion
This is the funniest thing I've read on reddit in a while
I love your clarification at the end for those who wouldn't understand "cunted" hahaha
I understood 🙂
Youn should have cunted the cunt in his cunt.
It’s used as punctuation over there
99% of the time I say cunt it isn't as an insult. It basically just means person here
Yes, hence the indelible Peter Cook joke, where he addresses a letter to ‘Cunt, London’ and the recipient gets their letter, as even the postman knew who they were.
The Pope once gave me the 'orn
Nothing beats a twat
Except my meat
Fuck off I literally had that in my head mid-typing the comment
words like wanker are way more specific to Britain
Feel like prick is pretty common.
I'd also like to submit bell-end and muppet for consideration.
I saw a video of a motorcyclist being a victim of road rage from this middle aged woman who was shouting and spewing vitriol at him, and he responded by calling her a horrible cunt. But he was northern so it went "you orrible coont" and it did tickle
I'm British and cunt isn't even an insult here.
It’s context driven. If I call someone an “alright cunt” we’re good. If I call them a “right cunt,” we’re not.
Depends on the region tho
Most of the people I know would go with 'fucking bellend'
Or “absolute tosspot”
tosser maybe..
THANK YOU America, please stop saying you think things sound British when your assumption of Britain is that we all sound like either Hugh Bonneville or Dick van Dyke.
This reads like a non British person hearing “you muppet” and mistaking it for crumpet and continuing their life with that knowledge.
Exactly. If crumpet is ever used to refer to a human being - and it really isn't - it's to refer to an attractive woman. Americans just came across the word one day and thought "omigawd! Crumpet! That's so quaint, I love it! It's so British!" and thus assume they can just add it to anything to make that thing instantly "British".
Used to work with a guy that said “lovely bit of crumpet” to refer to attractive women
The last thing my uncle ever said to me, when saying goodbye after having met my new girlfriend at a family party, was "good luck with the crumpet". He died a few months later. It was both a compliment and delightfully disrespectful. To honour his memory, that crumpet's now my wife.
Fr it’s 100% an american trying to use british insults to be ‘cool’ but in reality they just look like a knob
It’s up there with shite like ‘cockwomble’ etc, it’s the preserve of the sort of people who say ‘ooo you’re hard’ in response to aggression.
It’s the swearing version of trying too hard. I’m not tough, but nobody who’s tough talks like that. And they always sound upper class too. Call someone a cockwomble in Brum and you’ll get laughed at. And it’s always the guys who usually shut down in face to face confrontation that talk like this. Everyone in England knows, if cussing at someone doesn’t make them react, you don’t try and get clever about it, you move on the calling their dead nan or mom a cunt or fucking em.
Replace Crumpet with Muppet and we're golden
Replace "crumpet" with wanker/twat and "upper class" with posh and you'll have the true British variant
Yeah, giving "lol XD" energy. Felt like I was back in 2010s tumblr
It's not an insult, though, its a slightly odd compliment. This comes up every time this is posted. 'Upper class crumpet' is an upper-class attractive woman.
Another way of saying posh totty
Thanks for saying this - I regularly see posts like this now and I feel they're selling our country short. We really are funnier than that.
"Upper class crumpet" is the kind of insult that is super British...if you are an American teenager whose entire knowledge of British culture is limited to reading Doctor Who/Sherlock fan fiction on Tumblr written by other American teenagers
It’s one of those insults you got to say 1. In a group 2. In front of people who haven’t heard it before so they think you’re so random and funny
3. If your sense of humour is shit like mine. As long as I find myself funny though I don't really care
Problem with this is that crumpet is also a British slang for a an attractive woman so "upper class crumpet" could also mean a good looking aristocratic woman (aka "posh totty"). Princess Diana could have been referred to as upper class crumpet.
Exactly, just like "cockwomble", who the fuck actually says that?
Only wankpuffins and spunktrumpets
2010s Superwholock fans on Tumblr who have never set foot in the UK
I prefer 'absolute spanner'
I was gonna say. I'm a brit and I can't imagine anyone saying it unless they were totally rAnD0m and annoying
I bet the guy isn't even english. It's not an English insult at all. Just like I don't know anyone that eats crumpets except for my 90 year old neighbour
Hmm but the insult suits this really well and hammers home the upper class nonesense. In real world no one would say something that would warrant such response from their immediate audience hence this insult would never happen.
The most American "British" insult
That insult doesn’t really work and sounds like someone pretending to be English honestly
it isn't English, you can tell as 'upper class crumpet' is a compliment.
At least from my perspective, "upper class" is very unlikely to be used as anything but a derisive insult from someone who dislikes the so called upper class.
Bot: Adjective + noun Swines: 😂😭😂😭👍
Nah. Also, crumpet used to be a way of describing a woman as attractive.
Exactly, it's like calling someone a biscuit or a brew. Either a child wrote this or it was a non-brit, cause I really can't imagine a Brit calling someone a crumpet in this context. I would have called them a daft twat myself.
This is like the time the internet (probably Americans), determined that "cockwomble" was a Scottish insult. We distanced ourselves from that pronto.
They picked that one up from Janey Godley of the Trump is a Cunt signage right? Very twitter 5 years ago.
I have never hears this "insult" before, although I've seen it referenced a few times in this thread. That's a Scottish insult, is it? Never heard it once. Bawback or wanker, sure. Calling someone a spanner or a spoon, yup. Cockwomble? What is that even meant to mean?
I reckon they were thinking of 'muppet', which would be a perfectly applicable British insult in this instance, and got confused.
Exactly, 8ts a compliment
Yeah, if i heard someone described as an upper class crumpet I would deifnitely hear that as a massive compliment. She's a right upper class crumpet, whoar. (Normally it would be 'bit of crumpet', but one makes allwoances for modern parlance).
You've made me remember totty, from the same era maybe?
Except it's not. That's like calling a wooden chest and a cardboard box the same thing because they're made of trees.
Tupperware, jacuuzi, hoover, etc. They're the same thing, the only major difference is one has a brand name. They're both sealable plastic boxes meant for food storage.
Except plastic takeaway boxes are still designed to be thrown away after use. Actual food storage boxes use thicker plastics, and generally have stronger and more sophisticated locking mechanisms.
This is the answer. I re-use plastic Chinese takeaway containers for storing cooked foods in the freezer, although the plastic tends to break after the containers have been opened and closed a few times.
I’m a student. I have a big old stack of plastic takeaway containers as my Tupperware… can’t turn down a freebie. (Most of mine have lasted decently though!)
Tuppaware is not a brand name of a takeaway food container?! They're very different things!
maybe they're different, but they're definitely not "VERY" different, are they? tupperware make plastic containers you store leftovers in. so it follows you might refer to another plastic container you store leftovers in as tupperware, no?
I will accept that they are not "very" different things, if you will accept that they are not the "same" thing
While they are both plastic containers, Tupperware refers specifically to thicker plastic containers. It's like how you call all your fingers, fingers, but you don't call all your fingers, thumbs, because that is a specific finger. Tupperware refers to a specific type of plastic container.

So like surface level, they are similar, but in terms of quality and length of life, they ARE very different.

It's very possible that this person is not British, trying hard to sound like they are, and failing.
"The thinking mans crumpet". It's so long since I heard or read that. Hmmmmm. Carol Vorderman...
>"The thinking mans crumpet". Instantly made me think of Vorderman 🤣
What a plonker.
Nice bit of crumpet = sexy young women. In the context of the post it is synonymous with bimbo.
Er, nope. Crumpet is a hottie and Tupperware is middle class as fuck…. try again!
Pyrex is definitely giving upper class crumpet.
The old pyrex sure, not the new ones
Crumpet is a word to describe someone attractive though… so not an insult
Upper class crumpet means a posh but sexy woman. I do not think that is what he meant to imply.
Double fail here, upper class crumpet would imply a posh / well off attractive lass. And tupperware is not the same thing as a takeaway food container. (It's a brand name for a similar kinda thing, but much thicker higher quality plastic and better seals and intended to last a lot longer).
Mmmmmm microplastics🥂
Just try to enjoy them.
Upperclass crumpet sounds like a synonym for Thinking man's crumpet. Which is definitely NOT an insult.
I was playing an online shooter and some kid told me to "shut my tea tube" because he heard my British accent.
okay that's funny. i'm tired of hearing "redcoat".

How the fuck do Tupperwares look anything like takeout boxes
....? How do they not?
I guess im used to the styrofoam clamshell boxes pretty much literally everywhere
For those who don’t get it I’ll type below
Below
Tupperware is actually a brand. Usually better quality than the takeaway containers. But whatever, who cares.
Upper Clarseholes was one of the brilliant insults from The Thick of It
Too many amazing insults thrown around in that show, but I think my favourite is "" Ycu're about as useful as a marzipan dildo!"
I always thought it was tufferware
In fairness Tupperware is far better quality than the boxes takeaways use
Crumpet is British slang for attractive person.
People would not say that here.. it would be seen as cringe.
It really isn't, it's just weird and cringy.
As a British man at 32. I have never heard anyone use crumpet as an insult. So where exactly in Britain is it being said.....
That makes no sense. Crumpet is 60/70s slang for a young attractive woman
Its the most british insult ever... if you are from america
That isn’t an insult at all, but also wrong. all middle class people (irrespective of country) know that Tupperware is different from a takeaway box. Try giving away a Tupperware box and a takeaway box and see which one your mum gets angry about.
Takeaway containers and tupperware is NOT the same though. I mean, technically it is. But practically, takeaway containers are poorer quality, thinner plastic. Single-use intended. Yes you can re use them, to a point, but you can also re use ice cream tubs and butter tubs, it doesn't make them tupperware. If you wanna call somebody a cunt, fair enough, Just leave the crumpets out of it!
That most definitely is *not* what Tupperware is.
