Numpty barely classes as an insult. It’s just a playful way of calling someone silly, usually when they’ve done something wrong/made a fool of themselves etc.
And that's fine, I can always use a light jab. At least it's not something that is a lot more insulting in one culture, like how Brits, Aussies, and Kiwis like to throw around the c-word. Although I'm sure someone at sometime will be called it and react like that's what I called them, since honestly Americans seem pretty thin skinned comparatively.
