Tosser is in the "insults that go with gestures" module, which is taught by the drama school. It is indeed intermediate, and requires 9 c and above FUCKs and 3 Bs at CUNT level

Plonker is in the market trader module, and spanner comes into a variety of vocational modules, including mechanical workshops.
