whats the dıfference between a LOUT and a SOD? Yank wants to know

Agreed with the above, I always thought sod is short for sodomy which is bumming someone.

You have just ruined the word sod for me. Never considered it short for a rump shuffle.

both terms are out of every day use.

lout is typically only heard in papers with the pre-fix, larger lout.

I have not heard anyone being called a sod since I was a kid, and that was protect my precious ears from foul language shame it didn't work.

I don't know about that. Maybe it's a regional thing but 'sod' is pretty commonplace round by me.

Sod is pretty similar to 'shit' in the way it's used. You could substitute shit for sod in all of the following phrases: Little shit, naughty shit, cheeky shit.... It's used to describe somebody that is mischievious in some way.
