They're all real for sure except dicksplash and fuckletoes, but I can't choose between them.

I can definitely see dicksplash being used as an insult down the pub.

Fuckletoes is in a weird dead zone. It's far too poncey for working class use, but far too crass for the toffs.

The rest I've heard used before.
