As an additional thought (Although it was a bit more harsh), "Spanner!" was a similar insult. Same meaning but might actually have links to the 'engineering' side...
Edited to add--In a sentence, "Oh ya Nupmty!" , "Ya Spanner!"
(As an aside, did you have 'muppet', meaning the same? I know the Muppets come from your side of the Pond. But we use the word in a similar derogatory context as the aforementioned, "Ah-Ya Muppet!" That was more when someone did something, like walk into a lamppost, not looking where they were going or spill something down themselves!)
