Insult pertaining to someone with poor craftsmanship.
Originally a maker of bells and bell-ends.
During the English Reformation, when Henry VIII broke away from the Catholic Church, he decreed the construction of new churches and church towers, and to that end new bells and bell-ends. Because of this, there was an increased need for bell and bell-end makers. These grand and revered artisans of their day would be known as bell-enders.
Unfortunately, many pretenders strode from shire to shire claiming to be true and good makers of bells and bell-ends, which often resulted in shoddy work, and gave any true craftsmen a bad name. The name bell-ender, or bell-end, came to be synonymous with poor craftsmanship or a hoodlum - as it is to this day.
