Insults in English that you wish had a good translation in your language.
Mouthbreather. I would love dearly to call certain people this, but there is no non-awkward way of saying it. Fuck.
>>59330832
I like the term jackass, but sadly there is no decent translation.
Douchebag
Douchebag probably. Mouthbreather would be nice too.
>>59330832

>>59330832
You can make so many sweet insults using variations of the word fuck. Fucktard, fuckface, motherfucker, fuck-nugget etc.
>>59330832
We elevated insulting other people to an Art centuries ago, so other countries' ways of doing it seem crude and ineffectual in comparison.
If you're not willing to put some effort into it (which probably makes you far better persons than us, let's face it) then the Japanese way of insulting is probably your best bet : just unusual ways of saying "you". Ki-sama, teme, onore... which are one-size-fits-all.
Real good insults have to be tailored on the spot for your specific victim and the specific situation. They neeed both a copious amount of training beforehand (it's a lifetime quest to become the most offensive person alive) and quick thinking on the spur of the moment.
>>59330832
They all have :D But i love the most

>>59333082
>Spawn of alcohol incest
An example of crude and inefficient. Only the truth hurts; if your victim's parents were neither alcoholic nor family, the insult won't work, and you will be seen as a moron.
You want the exact opposite result, hit where it really hurts AND be seen as a smart (if detestable) person.
So, again: for "civilian" use, stick to vague insults like the Japanese. In English it would be "you..." - and you let your victim fill the ellipsis in its mind. You'll be surprised at how effective it can be.
For "military grade" insults, it's a lot more complicated, and I'm not giving away military secrets to foreign powers ^^
Mouthbreather? Is this another tired 4chin insult?
>>59333532
>the insult won't work, and you will be seen as a moron.
There's cult of mother here, mother ans soldier, to be accurate. Any kind of insult about mother often like rapier in heart. So, that is why there's tons on insulting in dota from russian players like i fuck your mum and others like this.
And i remember another fine russian insult "i fuck your coffin, goathead"
>>59331241
japanese in general doesn't have good insults
it really bothers me
>>59333082
>Spawn of alcohol incest.
Just call us Brits like everyone else does.
>>59334483
ruskies and brits are brothers in many aspects of life.
>>59334394
Thank you, that's interesting and informative. I noticed the same in Maghreb countries, they take offense when their mother is insulted even if the insult isn't even remotely true.
I guess I may use it if I ever need to insult a Russian.
>>59334446
Really? I find their way really efficient and economical.
>>59334659
If you need to insult russian, you can shit about russian army too. Some of russians got mad if you told to them things like AK a shit, t-90 a shit, and so on. Things like that stalin waste 35kk people and in nothing, that russia would lose without USA lendlease supplies are good too.
>>59334446
Yeah, English sure has Japanese beat, there.
I like it when Americans call each other "you fuck"
it's really hard to convey in Polish
>>59334812
We've been allies with Russia or the USSR for quite some time though, so I can't do that, it's off bounds.
Even the Stalin era was pretty cool (for us), Normandie-Niemen Squadron (Stalin gifted us the YaK-9 fighters after the war), and he turned over the French SS he had captured to let us decide what to do with them.
Russian military is really good, you guys won WW2, and if you have some shit weapons, well who doesn't?
Neckbeard would be nice to have.
Nigger.
Ain't no word like it

What are some good insults in your language which have no obvious english translation?
>>59334328
No it was a popular insult before you were born kiddo
>>59335056
any insult with "jeb" in it I think Russian works the same

And you can invent pretty much anything that sounds offensive. French is a language that can be easily and creatively played with.
I wasn't aware mouthbreather was so poopular
>>59335318
>German m8s told me Germans don't really swear, is that true?
lol what?
>>59335056
Many. The word "con" alone can take a bewildering variety of meanings, depending on the adjective before it.
"Sale con" (dirty cunt) : the nasty variety
"Gros con" (big cunt) : that one is almost affectionate
"Grand con" (tall cunt, but rather childish cunt) : that one never really grew up, again almost affectionate
"Petit con" (kiddy cunt): needs to grow up
"Vieux con" (old cunt): senile and set in his ways
"Vrai con" (true cunt): irredeemable
"Pauvre con" (poor, pathetic cunt): not really his fault, and hard to resent since he's such a loser
And so on. You need to choose carefully, like ammo types for a given gun. One for each job. And obviously you can make a custom one on the spot if it's needed.
Insulting is a big part of our culture, I'm not sure it's the case in other ones, which would explain why we gave it much more thought.
>>59335318
More closer to dickhead. You can only call someone kusipää if they do something dickheadish, but you can call someone cunt with out a particular reason.

I remember being told that a common German insult was "victim" translated, I've always thought that was a good one
>>59335429
You can do that with all swear words in UK, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.
If you swear at your mate in the US or Canada they'll get really offended.

In the Netherlands we swear with diseases.
Kankerlijer = person who suffers from cancer
Teringlijer = person who suffers from tuberculoses
Tyfuslijer = person who suffers from typhus
Tyfushond = typhus dog
Pestjong = innocent insult meaning pestilence / plagued kid
Pokkejoch = innocent insult meaning a kid who suffers from small pocks
Graftak = grave branch which is an annoying
old woman
Kreng = cadaver which is annoying woman
bosneger = forest nigger
haatbaard = hate beard is a radical muslim
NSB'er = a member of the Dutch nazi party in WW2, a traitor
spleetoog = slanty eyes
Kankeren = cancering which means complaining
Mierenneuken = ant fucking, which means nit picking
>>59335473
I don't know about that, I called some brit a "paki" on teamspeak and he never came back.
>>59335609
Maybe he was a genuine paki.
In which case you're a good lad.
>>59335557
Really? you practice the noble Art of insulting people too? that's nice to hear. Maybe we can organize competitions, and even petition to make it an Olympic discipline?
>>59333082
>Rusak
We use that one too
>>59335440
>I was asking them what German swear words there are and they implied that Germans don't really swear.
that's total bullshit though, we have quite a lot of swear words I guess and use them fairly often, depending on the people around you of course
some universal words that are similar to fuck(ing) would be beschissen (shitty), behindert (retarded) for example, or gefickt (get fucked) etc
and tons of actual insults of course
>>59335458
kanaken use slang like Opfer (victim), but it's more of a (muslim) foreigner low class trash word

Reminds me of the lexical differences between France and Québec when it comes to insults
Metropolitan French uses scatological/filthy elements to compose insultes (merde = shit, putain = whore, bordel = whorehouse, etc)
Québéquois use vocabular relating to the catholic liturgics, such as Christ (not the English way), chalice, ostie (holy bread), etc
>>59335586
Klerelijer = someone who got cholera
You can use it like sterf klerelijer. Die cholera-ridden person.
>>59335586
>ant fucking
we have the same, with fly fucking (enculeur de mouche)
Takkewijf = woman who suffers from a stroke.
>>59330832
could go as nekhijger here but its far from popular
>>59335749
France began to gradually become atheist ("problème de l'incroyance") as soon as the 16th century, and by the 18th it had begun to spread quite a bit, maybe that's why.
But really efficient insults are not vulgar or general purpose, you just describe your victim's shortcoming with precise words.
"Ignorant clown"
"Colossal moron"
"Sinister fool"
"Englishman"
...
>>59335902
"tiny man"
>>59335902
>be French
>have needlessly long insults
cf. Polish "zjeb" - a fucking failure
>>59335056
Lappen (means rag and is a catch-all term for betas)
It's not a hard insult but I like the sound of it, especially when spoken in my regional dialect. It's not really offensive, more like something you call your friends (like cunt for Aussies).
Can't think of a German insult that doesn't have an adequate translation. Maybe Missgeburt, which means monstrosity or abortion, but that:s a poor translation that doesn't really reflect the offensiveness. It also sounds far more badass in German
http://stuffdutchpeoplelike.com/2011/07/26/dutch-swears-with-diseases/
>>59335458
Just like Hurensohn (can you guess the english meaning?) this is a term that is mostly reserved to our fellow turkish citizens and lower class white chavs.
"get a dog up ya, cunt"

What does Galah mean? Hope I spelt it right.
You know in the middle ages if you got a certain disease it means god had punished you for being a terrible person.
So swearing with diseases is quite logical if you're talking with a bad person.
>>59336184
it's a bird
There's no insult that doesn't have a translation, but the way we link words doesn't sound as good/offensive in english.
"May the vultures scavenge your ass." or "I'll dry my socks on your mother's cross." sounds a lot more acidic and spiteful in romanian, while it sounds silly as shit in english.
>>59335388
>Nom de dieu de putain de bordel de merde de saloperie de connard d'enculé de ta mère
Somebody had seen Matrix.
>>59335962
>have needlessly long insults
That wasn't French, that was English. Just to explain the mechanics.
"Con" is a 3 letter word
"zjeb" is a 4 letter word
you do the math, you subhuman toilet cleaner.
>>59336305
Holy fuck didn't even realize that one
>>59336305
;^)
>>59336330
both are one syllable words, Polish syllabic onsets are more complex because our phonology actually allows it
>romancebabies can't stack sounds
>>59336275
So you're basically asking God to punish this person with a deadly affliction.
>>59336330
>boasts about creative insults
>finds nothing better than "subhuman toilet cleaner"
Bonus points, that would sound cringy as fuck in French.
What's next, POO IN LOO ?
>>59336420
calm down he's probably a bilal
Gypsies have based as fuck insults around here.
A lot of it resolves around the other's "deads"
Go eat your deads, I fuck your deads, the blood of your deads, etc, etc
>>59330832
>Missgeburt
like this guy said >>59335985
it doesn't really have a proper translation and it's a really strong insult because you basically attack someone's whole existence with it
if you use it you should be prepared to fight
>Pfeife
means "whistle", you use it for someone who fucks up on a regular basis
I love listening to people swear when it's justified and from the heart

Cucк.
I'm not joking, there is no literal translation of word "cucк" in lithuanian language.
>>59336987
Bull doesn't have a strictly negative connotation though. The male personification of Britain for instance is John Bull.
Cunt has alot more punch in America than any other English speaking country. If you want to break up with your girlfriend and make it permanent, call her a cunt

>>59337152
"Cunt" is the equivalent of our "con", in both languages it's originally slang for a woman's genitals, but alsoan insult. In French it's slang for "idiot" with a wide range of variants, the most common of which were listed in a post above.
>>59337394
blyat cyka
that's fucking bitch or so.
problem is, that in most ases you have to tell it in russian, but, i think, phrase like "did you know that your mum like anal sex more than in pussy?" would work.
>>59337406
"Frenchmen drive on the right side of the road, Englishmen on the wrong one".
>>59337059
Bad driving is uncommon in the UK
Daily reminder that Slavic insults will always be superior to the insults of any other linguistic group.
>>59336480
They love using "Fffffuuucking oouuut!!" but what does it really mean?
>>59337763
Really? after discussion with the good Russian anon here, I'm quite unimpressed.
And insulting mothers is common in Maghreb countries too.
And insulting the military prowess of heroes is common in America (and on the Internet).
It falls flat if you have a respectable mother or military history. And you end up passing off as ungentlemanlike or ignorant respectively.
I'll maintain our way is the best from what I know, though I'll grant the Japanese way is a lot more efficient.
>>59337980
Fucking hell probably, Northern accents often ignore the h
>>59337510
But what if your mother DOES like anal sex better? from experience I'd say about half the women do.
I don't know my mom's preferences, but whatever floats her boat.
Also if my mother and I wanted to have sex, we would, and what would be the problem?
It's just like the culinary insults.
"Kraut": well sauerkraut is really good, it sounds more like a compliment to Germany to me?
"Macaroni": much the same, to the credit of Italy
"Baguettes": again (and this time I'm on the receiving end).
>>59338187
Oh thank you I didn't notice that.
Dropping "h" feels interestingly Romance.
>>59338352
Saint mother cult is pretty big point of propaganda. it does not matter, how things are in real life, any detail of potential sex life, despite how truth they are, is deadly insult to russian bydlo.
On the streets, if you want to fight with anybody, you should call one's mother a whore.
