The Flame to End All Flames

I think I need a translation of the British insult reel... but the checkbox form is hysterical.

I guess these are the same ones I didn’t know. The only one I couldn’t find was arassive. It would be suitably cruel to include a word that didn’t exist just to waste their time, so maybe it’s not a word? The others I looked up were...

plantigrade
2 Of a human: having flat feet. M19.
barratrous
a. (Maritime Law) of or pertaining to barratry M19.
barratry
3 Maritime Law. Fraud or gross or criminal negligence prejudicial to a ship’s owner(s) or underwriters on the part of the master or crew. E17.

Yeah, I couldn't find barratrous. Thanks for finding that one. The Merriam-Webster online dictionary didn't list it. Arassive wasn't in there either. Let me know if you find it!
