The word "worm" is intentionally vague and ineffective as an insult, as these crazy old women tend to know nothing about the person, so will just fire random insults at members of the public hoping that one of them hits home, with "worm", according to professional research, being a fan favourite. Other insults used by these women are insulting the person at their inadequacy with dealing with their children and their pets, the word "turd", and insulting the person's (if that person is a man) genitalia, with the most infamous usage of this being from the great Queen Del Pufflet of Neutral Bay II, saying to the baldy arse at the time "go and tweak yer bloody dirty old crappy penis" Urban Dictionary
