The Labour leader appeared to mouth the insult towards the PM in parliament after she compared his attempt at calling a no-confidence vote in her earlier this week to Christmas "pantomime."
"I know it's the Christmas season and the pantomime season. He's going to put a confidence vote, oh yes he is, oh no he isn't," May jeered.
"I've got some advice. Look behind you! They are not impressed and neither is the country."
Corbyn's actions brought condemnation from lawmakers who urged him to either "apologize or clarify" what he had mouthed. The Labour leader's spokesperson later told CNN that Corbyn said "stupid people."
May responded in parliament to Corbyn shortly after the heated exchange, telling the Commons lawmakers "should be aiming to encourage women to come into this chamber."
"I think that everybody in this House, particularly in its 100th year, the anniversary of women getting the vote, should be aiming to encourage women to come into this chamber and to stand in this chamber, and should therefore use appropriate language in this chamber when they are referring to female members," May said.
