[slangfilter] What will the kids be saying in 2033?

A friend of mine is writing a story about a group of 13ish year olds set in the year 2033. She's trying to come up with some possible slang words for them to use in conversation. Specifically, insults in place of things like 'asshole' and 'dickhead.' Any ideas?

This seems kinda chatfiltery, but oh well. I doubt that words like "asshole" and "dickhead" will have gone anywhere by 2033 -- they've been in common use for a hell of a long time, and that's the relatively near future. They're pretty safe. If they aren't enough, though, my suggestion would be to look backwards for archaic swear words that could come back into vogue, as "douche" and its variants have done recently.
