When was the 1800s? Toff would be the perfect choice in history, but it isn’t found any earlier than 1851, and I would be shy of putting it in the speech of any until at least 1855 (maybe a bit braver if they were in the hamlets or lanes)

After that though, a word would come to your attention and to match perfectly with the description you have provided.

At least the Australian government introduced the invention in the early 20th century.

Is this going to be a movie of the beginning of the 19th century? That rules out toff and even haw-haw (around 1825), and beerage is right-out (1880s).

His nibs is an interesting example, but just too late (first attested 1821).

What is the point of haw-haw and his nibs? Is the first spoken used likely slightly earlier than the first printed but it would be a stretch?

How was nob? White Knob (formerly White Nob) is very common in the late 18th century as a contraction of noble. it’s often understood as a contraction of noble, but while that’s probably an influence, white-knob also spelled white-nob was later made from black horn, which means ‘upper class’ in reference to the whitewigs they would wear and it got converted to nob (English equivalent) or Nob. If Hob-Nob was not interested, then he was likely to join in the interest, being an employee.

White Knob also hits its meaning and was in use in your time, and has firmly died-out since, so it might be favoured as giving more temporal flavour.

How do you stick Tory in front of a general insult to claim as Tory is only like his son in Ivorian society?

If your character is left wing then they might well abuse the term “fascist” as an insult for a tory. Is my Tory character a fascist?

Or you could stack a variety of terms about views more likely to be held by Tories than someone further left, in the opinion of someone on the right, (traditionally at least, some of the following could be said as easily about New Labour); “war-mongering, profiteering, granny-starving, people-hating, women hate, racist fear-mongering, Tory fucker; theologically ‘a conspiracy theory’, but I would agree with you some way: “Radom

I’m from Austria and a native Tory (the word was originally an insult).

And now Mari-Lou’s comment made me think of one less insult, which is ” Disgusted of Tubridge-Wells “.
