In the dialect of the Italian province I’m from, my favorite insult is “Perdabàll”, which literally means “balls loser” as someone who’s so stupid and useless that could even manage to lose his testicles

In Tamil: சோத்துல உப்பு போட்டு தான தின்ற?

Translation: Don’t you add salt to your food?

Context: This is when somebody doesn’t react/listen/change no matter how much they are insulted. The other party asks if they add salt to their food, or if they only eat bland food, and thus have lost all emotions and have become as bland as their food.

It’s a bit difficult to explain, but the general belief is that food reflects your emotions and reactance and moods. Bland food - emotionless, spicy food - easy to anger, etc.

All of our swear words are Catholic church vocabulary words. As a never Catholic I always find them hilarious when I say them. They can basically be used as stand-ins for words in the same way as we use “fuck” in English or strung together.

“Saint Ciboire” was my grandmother’s favorite when I would fuck something up.

“Ge zijt a foorwijf”

You are a fair bitch. People working the carnival / fair scene don’t have the best of reputation. In Belgium we had a song about this phenomenon and the real fair people were all kinds of angry about the stereotype. The thing is about stereotypes: it really has a base in reality.

“mange tes morts” in french, can be translated to “eat your deads” which is like go fuck yourself

Triangeljosti.

The Jostiband is a Dutch orchestra for people with a developmental disability, mainly people with down syndrome.

A [triangle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle_(musical_instrument\)) , or triangel in Dutch, is possibly the simplest instrument you can think of.

So calling someone a ‘triangeljosti’ is basically comparing them to someone who plays the simplest possible instrument in a band for developmentally disabled people.

The disapproving and insulted look of a Canadian when you’ve done something so stupid that they can’t even apologize for it.

It’s when there’s no apology or jokes, just the look, that you know you’ve become the stupidest fucker north of these here prairies and bears ya know.

Not my native language but the German language has some pretty fantastic words/insults like “punchable face” (backpfeifengesicht) and “brain denier” (gehirnverweigerer).

German: “Dich soll der Blitz beim Scheißen treffen” - Lightning shall strike you while you’re taking a shit

Best insult ever, imo.

Gea mor net af die Kondl. “Don’t step on my milk jug”. You’re annoying me and you better shut up or go away.

Konnsch mor in Buggl oirutschn. “You can slide down my back”. I don’t give a fuck.

German dialect from Tyrol.

“Spargeltarzan”, which is German for “asparagus Tarzan”. Basically someone who is physically weak, but tall and lanky.

I also like “Lauch”, which just translates to “leek”, the veggie. Oh, and “Bohnenstange”, which means bean stalk. We do seem to have quite a few vegetable-related insults in German, now that I think of it…

That’s not exact:

• Me cago en tus muertos = I shit on your ancestors / I shit on your dead relatives.
• Me cago en todos tus muertos = I shit on all of your ancestors / I shit on all of your dead relatives.

And in the theme of insults from Spain, a loaded one is also: Me cago en tu puta madre = I shit on your fucking mother / I shit on your whore mother

See, the thing with “puta/puto” is that it literally means “whore”, but it’s used to empathize cursings just like “fucking” is used in english. We’re even misusing it by putting it before verbs, imitating it’s use in english.

My favorite has to be zkundyksicht, it comes from “z kundy ksicht” which literally means “a face [that came] from a cunt”. “Z” = from, “kunda” = cunt, “ksicht” = a rude way to say face.

Altough it’s more like a “gypsy curse”, but there’s one that translates to sth like “I wish you’ll having ten rings but none fingers”

Here are a few Austrian ones:

“Häferl” (Cup): someone with anger management issues

“Du rüttelst am Watschenbaum” (You are shaking the slap tree): I’m close to deliver the fruit of said tree to you.

“Ohrwaschlkaktus” (Ear cactus): Someone with large, protruding ears

“Saubauch” (Hog belly): A way of telling someone that they are fat and dumb at the same time. But in a nice way.
