Teletubbyzurückwinker.

Someone that waves back at the Teletubbies.

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.

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.

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

"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...

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

Calling a male a "nephew" in Chinese 契弟 kai dai is calling them a male prostitute.

Usually it doesn't mean target male has actually been used sexually, but commonly used for general belittlement.

This term comes from ancient times: Traveling businessmen who would take a young boy with them for sexual use, but if anyone on the road or destination asked who the boy was, the business man would euphemistically explain "He's my nephew"

契弟 kai dai is commonly translated as "nephew" but it means "adopted brother"

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.

"I piss in your mother's death"

Alternatively, "May Stalin fuck you"

And yes, I live in Eastern Europe.

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.

Swedish Skitstövel - shit boot, basically means asshole

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.

كول هوا

"Kawl hawa"

Literally "eat air" in Arabic

Means shut up

Greetings from Poland.

"bambaryła" - someone who is very silly. Also: someone who is very fat. A little old-fashioned.
