Always thought that was a good word. Can't think why it's suddenly come into my head, though I have been looking at the tellybox tonight.

'Obstreperous' is a favourite. Heard it when I was a bairn in the film 'The Wanderers' and I've used whenever I can since!

Contrafribularites is a good one but I can only recall it ever being used once to good effect. :greengrin
