You could go full British. "You absolute/complete/total (any noun)"
You absolute sponge.
You complete brick.
You total signpost.
Its all in the delivery. Say it with enough malice and anything is an insult.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

''You tooting foghorn of ignorance''
you UTTER building material
You fucking spanner.
Champ.
Yahoo#1: "The Earth is flat, didn't you know?"
You: "Alright, Champ."
Call someone sticky, and dont use it like an insult say it like you are being genuine. If they try to hand you something shy away and be like "oh um no I'm sorry, you're just kinda sticky" garentee that'll leave a mark
American
Bro said the A-word 💀
Pimmel.
A lot of Americans who say "fuck" will still lose their goddamn minds if you say "cunt".
Yeah, I say cunt a lot as an American. My mom hates it which is at least partially why I love it. Shit cunt is my favorite variation.
Once the shock value of a simple ‘cunt’ has worn off, ‘thundercunt’ is my next escalation.
Thundercunt seems like stepping down on shock value. I would be more likely to say that than just cunt by itself.

People in the small-town South don't take it well when you call them sister-fuckers, either, as I quickly learned.
Didn't stop me, though.
In America, it is a harsh term for the vagina. As a gendered term, it would be considered a slur. For some reason, "pussy" is more acceptable but carries the same connotations. The latter is used to describe a coward, while the former would be more akin to "bitch."

Lately I've been a big fan of "bungalow", to signify that someone has nothing upstairs.
Niggard/niggardly sounds like a really, really, awful choice for a word to describe someone cheap like Scrooge. It's not a slur it just sounds way too much like one. The use of the word is controversial despite the only connection the two words share is how they sound.
I wouldn't use the word around people though. Explaining how a word that sounds racist isn't racist makes you appear to be more racist. It isn't a slur but gets treated as if it was one.
✓ quite offensive
✓ not a slur
X you probably still shouldn't use it
The only reason people use this word is because it sounds like the slur. If you're choosing words just so you can say "Actually, it's technically not a slur," you're just being racist.

cunt
I like calling people inanimate objects. Being angrily called a "fucking waffle" or a "God damned acorn" hits different than the normal curses and slurs

Definitely a slur
For best results, it depends on the context.
For example, when I'm dealing with people who cannot (or refuse) to do the simplest of tasks, I've found myself muttering "ugh, just read the instructions I wrote you troglodyte".
Classic. Troglodyte is an underrated one. I also like cretin.
As an Australian, I would like to introduce you to a word more offensive than “fuck” while just as versatile, and that is “Cunt”.

In a professional setting: disappointment is the strongest word I've ever said to someone
Outside that? I don't know if there is a good cutoff between slur/not slur... The one I vividly remember was old Chinese social media users (before the blockage) calling some people "Wumao" (translates to 50 cents). This is implying that the person is being a troll, and they did it because they were so pathetic that they accepted a 50-cent commission from the government to say good/bad things on the internet. Probably still the worst insult I could imagine till this day; modern equivalent might be calling someone "nice job ChatGPT" or a "Russian bot"
Not a word, but my favorite recent addition was when someone told me her husband, rather than flip people off in road rage situations, just looks at them and gives them a thumbs down gesture, and it makes them so much more mad. I’ve been doing it whenever I see Cybertrucks.
Muppet, munter, twat. Just start using UK insults
