Scuttle in the Mouth

Origins found in Yorkshire saying 'coal-scuttle in the mouth', though shortened through Cumbrian slang.
Traditionally used as a reposte to an insult, equivalent to the unpleasant experience of physically trying to put a coal scuttle in your mouth.

Alternatively can be abbreviated to a simple 'Scuttle'.
