Note from asker:
| Thanks polyglot 45. I actually went, ironically, with 'you're about as mature as a 10 year-old' and then Philippa responded to your post and said the same thing! It worked very nicely in the context of the scene I was subtitling. I very much appreciate the clarification of the slang terms. |

Note from asker:
| Thanks kashew. In this particular instance, 'twit' was a step too far in the context of the scene I was subtitling, but nice for future reference :) |
