What insults to other countries are part of your language?

[derspiess]

The Dutch were nothing but nice to me in my time in the Netherlands. Almost to a fault. The Flemish were equally so in Belgium. The Walloons... well, at least they made good beer.

I just thought it was funny both the countries you like are Calvinist ones

Granted I guess France is sorta Calvinist to in its way.

Well admittedly I've never been to Switzerland. Just going on a vibe I've gotten from them over the years.

But I just can't get over how nice the Dutch were. Except for the hooked that yelled at me in Amsterdam.

[Admiral Yi]

I think the Swiss are the most anal retentive people in the world.  Nothing at all like the Dutch.

[Razgovory]

"Honky" is negative term for a white guy.  Come from "Bohunk" which itself comes from "Bohemian".

Interesting.  Where did you pick this up Raz?

And not to doubt you, but how the hell did a black person ever meet a Czech?

I'm like masking tape, I pick up all sorts of shit.  White Americans would call Eastern European immigrants "Bohunk", presumably blacks heard them and applied it to all whites.  I imagine blacks living in northern cities had a lot of contact with Eastern European immigrants in the early 20th century.

Raz is right.  From my dad, bohunk/honky was definitely the slur you'd use against eastern European immigrants, like Ukrainians.  It's only from modern googling that I ever learned the "Czech" connection for that word.

I've not gotten that vibe too much.
They strike me as like polite Frenchmen (and women).
Which is odd.

For dutch

Kolenengels spreken - speaking coalenglish  speaking bad english
Werkennmet de franse slag - working in the french way  working slowly
Geen geld geen zwitsers - no money no swiss nothing is free comes from french when the swiss were merchant soldiers

[The Larch]

-"Irse a la francesa" - "French goodbye": to leave abruptly and/or impolitely. AFAIK this one is present in other languages so the French must be really adept at it.
-"Coger una turca" - "To catch a Turk" (femenine): to get REALLY drunk.
-"Beber como un cosaco" - "To drink like a Cossack": to drink a LOT.
-"Hacer el indio" - "To act like an Indian": to act like a fool, to fool around (usually used when kids play and make a lot of fuss, for example).
-"Hacerse el sueco" - "To act like a Swede": when you pretend you didn't hear/notice something.

For some reason we have shitloads about China:

-"Naranjas de la China" - "Chinese oranges!": A prudish equivalent of the English "bullshit!".
-"Un cuento chino" - "A Chinese tale": something that's a blatant lie/excuse.
-"Lo saben hasta los chinos" - "Even the Chinese know that": when something you believe was a great insight/info it's actually common knowledge.
-"Esto parece chino" - "This looks like Chinese": when a written text is really complicated (a manual, for example).
-"Trabajo de chinos" - "Chinese work": when you are doing some labor that's actually menial but that needs a lot of time/work to finish.

Not really about nationalities but ethnicities, but don't forget also "Trabajar como un negro" (to work as a black, meaning working very hard or doing backbreaking labour) or "ser muy moro" (to be quite moorish, meaning to be extremely jealous regarding your wife or girlfriend).

It might have to do with our long isolation, but Icelandic neither has national nor regional slurs which have been adopted into the language.

[Sheilbh]

Don't trust a Greek (bearing gifts).

A non-Dutch one!

[Razgovory]

I had no idea my language contained so much Dutch hatred.

I think it should be remember that for a long time "Dutch" referred to Germans as well or people living in a German state.

I thought about those, but decided to refrain from the most racist ones

[Archy]

And another one in dutch
De engelse ziekte the english disease  rickets
Een frans compliment a french compliment an unclear compliment if its positive negative
Zo dronken als een zwitser as drunk as a swiss

[celedhring]

De engelse ziekte the english disease  rickets

Similarly, in Spanish "el mal francés" (the French disease) is syphilis.
