Teletubbyzurückwinker.

Someone that waves back at the Teletubbies.

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.

كول هوا

"Kawl hawa"

Literally "eat air" in Arabic

Means shut up

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.

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.

While not my native language, in Japanese, many insulting things to call people are often translated as English curses, but actually are just increasingly disrespectful ways to refer to the listener. The actual translation for them is just "you" but not respectful. This might not be a complete list, but I got most of them at least.

Anata - Polite way of saying "you" but not often used in conversation except between spouses or lovers. It's preferred to use the listener's name instead.

Kimi - Rude in a polite setting, but not explicitly disrespectful, necessarily.

Omae - Now you're on the level of picking a fight, but good friends often use this for each other.

Temee - Extremely disrespectful

Kisama - Extremely disrespectful

Kono yarou - Extremely disrespectful

In Chile, not really an insult but rather a lament over how dumb people are sometimes:

"Si los weones volaran, pasaría nublado" (If dumb people could fly it would always be cloudy)

German: "Dich soll der Blitz beim Scheißen treffen" - Lightning shall strike you while you're taking a shit

Best insult ever, imo.

"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...

Yiddish is not my native language but I think this one is so good it absolutely deserves a mention:

All of your teeth shall fall out except one that gives you a massive toothache.

In polish, calling people with the neutral gender. It's a grave insult which implies lack of agency and dehumanisation, and thank to some rightwinger assholes in parliament is also a specific transphobic insult now.

While in english it's completely normal thing to say if you're not sure of a person's gender.

So definitely not my "favourite", i would never said this to anyone in polish and i occasionally get a hiccup of misgendering someone in english because of that, but interesting from language point of view.

Portuguese is full of these, but how about vai pra casa do caralho.

Which roughly translates to "go to the dick's home", basically another way of saying "go fuck yourself", but even more vulgar somehow.

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.

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

In Bulgaria we have the very creative insult „You’re as sharp as an edge on a round table”, which I find pretty amusing

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.

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.

"Κλάσε μου τα αρχίδια" which literally stands for "fart my balls" in Greek.

It's a way of telling someone to go fuck himself.

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.

German Korinthenkacker (currant shitter) is someone who tries to win an argument by looking at unimportant details.

• Γαμώ το σπίτι σου (literally: fuck your house) I guess this basically means to fuck your whole family
• Γαμώ τη Παναγία σου (literally: fuck your Saint Mary)
• Γαμώ το Χριστό σου (literally: fuck your Jesus)
• Να μου κλάσεις τον πούτσο (literally: fart my dick) I guess this means "I'll fuck you from behind"
• Πάρ'τα 3 μου (literally: take my 3) The 3 is implied for balls, and they're 3 instead of 2 because it's more manly I guess lmao
• Κλάσε μου τα 3 (literally: fart my 3) A combination of the previous two
• Αρχίδι (literally: testicle) You can actually call someone a testicle in Greek

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.

三小 in Taiwanese literally translates as “what sperm?” But it means “what the fuck”.

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 French, "pisse-vinaigre" or vinegar pisser, for someone that complains about everything

Word: Muji

In Devnagari (Nepali): मुजी

Meaning: A woman's pubic hair

In sentence: तँ मुजीको गाला फुट्नेगरी पड्काउॅछु।

Translation: I'll slap the living crap out of you muji.

Very Belgian: He doesn't have all his fries in the same bag / Il n'a pas toutes ses frites dans le même sachet

Meaning that he's/she's dumb or confused :D

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

Not really an insult but:

"Hänellä ei taida olla kaikki muumit laaksossa"
"They don't seem to have all moomin in the valley"

When someone is talking crazy, etc

"Enculeur de poules mortes" which basically means dead chicken fucker. It's translatable but sounds so much better in french.

Argentinian here, I find very funny that a while ago somebody decided to express frustration saying la concha del pato or la concha del mono (lit. "vagina of the male duck" or "monkey"). Yes, the absurdity of a male animal with a female organ seems to reinforce the obscenity somehow.

Heard one: Your mother has a penis and your father is jealous of it.
