    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.

    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.

    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

    Brazilian portuguese tends to lack impactful phrases, but is full of single curse words. A big portion of them a clear example of how much negative bias there is culturally against certain groups (gay men, women in general, disabled), unfortunately :/

    One that isn’t often used, but that I almost always laugh loud whenever I hear, is “Enfia uma dentadura no cu e sorria pro caralho”, which roughly translates into “Stick a denture up your asshole and smile at the dick”. For when simply saying “go fuck yourself” isn’t enough.

    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”

    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.

      Portuguese here. “Diz que vais cagar e baza”, which translates to “Say you go shit and get outa here”, when someone is not welcome.

        Oh, another one: “deves comer gelados com a testa”, which translates to “you must eat icecream with your forehead”, a not so soft way to call someone stoopid

        Brazil “eu caguei e andei” (I shat and walked). Functionally equivalent to “I don’t give a shit” but in Portuguese one actually shits but doesn’t care to wipe and walks away or walks at the same as is shitting.

      I’ve heard ‘caralho’ used to be the name for the lookout on top of a ship’s mast (later turned into yet another word for dick) and sailors were sent to duty on the caralho as punishment?

      I’m not Portuguese though, so if any native could confirm …

    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: “Du Lappen”

    Translates to “You rag”, pretty much calling someone a loser or idiot.

    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

        No but for that we use another genital: we say “S’é infigá” which roughly translates to “He got pussy-ed”, meaning someone that got enslaved by a vagina

    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.
