Ill start:
"Me cago en tus muertos" - ill shit all over your dead relatives. Spanish.
Teletubbyzurückwinker.
Someone that waves back at the Teletubbies.
Specific and evocative as fuck. German really is amazing.
Toilettentieftaucher is another great german word mishmash. Literally someone doing deep dives in toilets
Inventing stupid words for "weak" people like that is an ancient German running gag. Like Schattenparker (someone who parks in the shade) or Warmduscher (someone who likes warm showers). It's always tongue-in-cheek and no serious insult.
This is by far the best one.
No harsh words or vulgarity but lots of emotional damage.
Schnitzelkind. Breaded-veal kid (wienerschnitzel / milanesa). Basically a kid so ugly, that the parents needed to put a schnitzel around his neck so that at least the dogs would play with him.
Is that what it means? We had a kid at school everyone just referred to as "Schnitzeljunge", never knew where that name came from.
