    “I piss in your mother’s death”

    Alternatively, “May Stalin fuck you”

    And yes, I live in Eastern Europe.

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

    Best insult ever, imo.

      Something about how fancy French sounds, juxtaposed with how vulgar the insult is, that makes it stick.

      Like a guy in a tuxedo, but with his junk out

      In English it’s more like a guy at Walmart in sweatpants with his junk out; not that shocking

    French Canadian here

    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.

    baptême [ba.tae̯m]: “baptism”
    câlice [kɑːlɪs] (calice): “chalice”
    ciboire [si.bwɑːʁ]: “ciborium” or “pyx”, receptacles in which the host is stored
    criss [kʁɪs] (Christ): “Christ”, or crisser, a more emphatic version of sacrer, both verbs meaning “to curse”
    esti [əs.t͡si], [ɛs.t͡si] or ostie [ɔs.t͡si] (hostie): “host [cookie]”
    maudit [moːd͡zi] (m) or maudite [moːd͡zit] (f): “damned” (or “damn”)
    sacrament [sa.kʁa.mã] (sacrement): “Sacrament”
    saint [sẽ]: “Saint”, added before others (ex. saint-simonaque, saint-sacrament, etc.)
    simonaque [si.mɔ.nak] (simoniaque): from the sin of simony
    tabarnak [ta.baʁ.nak] (tabernacle): “tabernacle”; typically considered the most profane of the sacres
    viarge [vjaʁʒ] (vierge): “the Virgin Mary”
    Moïse: Moses

    Salame

    Yes that’s right, it means salami and in spanish it’s used to call someone an idiot. Soft insult, but I use it, and saying so and so is a salami in english would only get me weird looks.

    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.

      Same in Dutch: azijnzeiker (azijn = vinegar, zeiker = pisser). So that one does translate well (but not to English :))

      Neat! In Dutch we have azijnpisser/azijnzeiker which means the exact same thing.

    In Quebec French, people sometimes say of someone who’s not particularly bright:

    “His mom rocked him/her too close to the wall.”

    It’s just so… vivid and random.

      A strong insult in french would be to tell that someone has been “fini à la pisse”.

      I don’t know how to translate that but it would means that their dad did not have enough sperm so he used urine to conceive them.

    My personal favourites from Finnish.

    “Ei ole kaikki muumit Muumilaaksossa” “Not having all the Moomins in Moomin Valley” Used for people who are either stupid or lack sanity. There are other variants of this and Moomin one is not older than a couple of decades.

    I find our version of Grammar Nazi pretty great. We call them comma fuckers.

    “Ei voi kauhalla ottaa jos on lusikalla annettu” “You can’t take with a ladle if it was given with a spoon”. This refers also to a lack of something, usually a lack of intelligence or sense.

      “Not having all the Moomins in Moomin Valley”

        Just be warned Moomins are a gateway to communism (Weird internet theory). Or at least to more Moomins. We literally have Moomin everything here.

      In Denmark you have:

      • Paragraph Knight - someone who cares too much about rules and regulations.
      • Fly Fucker - someone who cares too much about something deeply insignificant.

    If you want to say that you don’t care about something (as in: “I don’t give a fuck”), in Serbian you would say: “My dick hurts”. And that’s an expression you’ll hear almost daily. A less used variant of that, but still legit is: “My balls are beeping”.

    While not insulting, I’ll throw in our way to say: “I’m/You’re fucked”. It’s: “Jebao sam/si ježa u leđa”, which means: “I/You fucked a hedgehog in the back”

    Băga-mi-aș pula-n coliva mă-tii de să-mi sară coaiele din bomboană-n bomboană

    This is a highly niche one in my native language as well, as one must also know what is colivă - it’s basically a desert that we eat at funerals with m&m-sized candies in it as well. So it roughly translates let me stick my dick in your mother’s coliva so hard that my balls jump from candy to candy

      Does the insult mean the colivā is served at your mother’s funeral, or that it’s the colivā your mother made? Also in what kind of context you use this insult?

    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.
