In Great Britain, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand the word muppet has come to be used as a mild term of abuse, meaning a stupid, incompetent, or idiotic person, or the obvious interpretation of someone who is inanimated or somehow not there.[citation needed] [2] It is often used mildly affectionately. [2] It can also be applied to a strange looking or aesthetically displeasing individual. [3] [4]

The term is frequently used by English football fans to describe an inept performance by an individual player, or a player or manager perceived to be lacking in skill. For example Roy Keane described Niall Quinn (then the chairman of Sunderland A.F.C.) as a muppet in his 2002 autobiography. [5]

The film Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, penned by British writer/director Guy Ritchie, features an example of the regional usage of the term in pop culture. The character "Hatchet" Harry Lonsdale (played by P.H. Moriarty) remarks, "I don't care who you use, as long as they're not complete muppets." [6]
