A friend of mine would become so apoplectic with rage that he suffered from a kind of expletive blindness and could manage to splutter out only the most feeble insults. His all-time classic was “You’re nothing but a sly old fox”, closely followed by “You’re just an old bagpuss”.

“You pogglesnatch!” was the anguished wail of Bill Murchison whenever he was wronged.
Other scathing put-downs that he came out with were ‘grankboggle’, ‘bogglewonk’ and his finest hour - ‘you saxophonist’.
( A brief googling shows that this website is the only one in the world to contain the words grankboggle or bogglewonk. What a coup! - Log)
