What insults to other countries are part of your language?

[Savonarola]

Don't trust a Greek (bearing gifts).

A non-Dutch one!

I wonder how many languages have something similar; since it's derived from Laocoon's speech in the Aeneid.

I like this one:

Greek factory   n.
1856   R. W. Emerson Eng. Traits xii. 205   Oxford is a Greek factory, as Wilton mills weave carpet.

Greek is also a euphemism for anal sex in Germany. French means oral sex, and Spanish means a tit-fuck.

It's the same over here - except tit-fuck is called "Cuban".

Anyone know when oral sex was invented?

Probably older than mankind:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oral_sex

Oral sex has been observed in the animal kingdom among many species.[45][46][47] It has been suggested that there is an evolutionary advantage due to the tendency of primates, non-primates and humans to have oral sex.[48]

Also, for this thread:

Forced fellatio is often called Egyptian rape or simply Egyptian; this goes back to the time of the Crusades when Mamluks were alleged to force their Christian captives to do this.[51]

[Duque de Bragança]

And a Parisian (Pariser) is a French letter.
A bit old-fashioned though.

[Martinus]

"ser muy moro" (to be quite moorish, meaning to be extremely jealous regarding your wife or girlfriend).

Could this one be inspired by Shakespeare?

Don't male bonobos use oral sex to resolve disputes over females (with the blowee letting the blower have sex with the female as a result)?

De engelse ziekte the english disease  rickets

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

Same in Polish - or, alternatively, just called "franca".

Don't think so, we've had plenty of contact with muslims over the centuries to develop our own biases.

De engelse ziekte the english disease  rickets

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

In French, it used to be called "Mal de Naples" (Naples disease) or even "Mal des Anglais" (English disease). Latter was much less common.

[celedhring]

So lovely to see the different European nationalities blaming syphilis on their neighbours, or the French.

[Sheilbh]

It's also the French disease in English

[celedhring]

One day, contempt for the French will unite the world.
