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.
Oh cool, we have a very similar one in German: "His/her swing stood too close to the wall."
A strong insult in french would be to tell that someone has been "fini ร 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.
