It was quite the putdown in early 80s school as it was one word, pithy and allowed very little scope for comeback other than the rudimentary punch in the face.
Yeah. I have one of those brains. Stuff - useful and useless - sticks to it like shít to a blanket.

Mind you, I'm utterly terrible with people's names and am getting worse as I get older. If I'm at a work event and there aren't name badges, I'm almost certain to say something like 'Lovely to meet you' to someone I've met several times before.
