Brit Reacts to 9 Savage German Insults you should start using 

Why should i, as a german, would use insults that you probably don't understand??? Be sure, if i want to offend you, you will be offended. That's german efficency😜

He was wrong on the Missgeburt. A Missgeburt is a baby that's born with heavy deformations. As an insult it just means "you ugly" A baby that didn't survive birth is called a Fehlgeburt. Which also can be used as an insult.

"Teetrinker" must be an insult in South Germany. In the north we drink a lot of tea 💪

The Teletubbies were created in England... thank you for that England. **cough** xD

Schweinehund is not only used as an insult but also to give your laziness or melancholy a face. When you really need to do something but can't be arsed you need to "overcome your inner pigdog" (den inneren Schweinehund überwinden).

Dwayne: "Do not insult us , we do understand" No you don't. Let me help you out here: Warmduscher - has nothing to do with warm=gay, not even remotely. And "douche" is not included as well. It describes the adressed person as someone, who only takes warm showers, and no cold ones (Like a "real man" would do), thus being a soft, slobby weakling. Evolutionsbremse - you were close, but not on point. It means, that you have no worthy genes to pass on to the next generation, thus being a break (bremse) to the evolution. Other than that: these were not the most creative ways to insult someone. In fact, three of them are pretty "basic" and nothing to write home about. Trust me, I am a native Berliner and we know how to insult (harsh "Berlin humor" is well known in Germany)

He actually mis-translated Missgeburt. A Missgeburt [in the original non-insulting sense] is not a stillbirth, but someone who came physically/mentally damaged straight out of the womb. It kind of was always offensive, but it was originally just brutal but factual. And Dwayne, you did not quite get the gist of Warmduscher. It has nothing to do with douche. A German Dusche is simply a (bathroom's) shower. The insult belongs to a family of insults supposedly describing weaklings: Schattenparker [shadow-parkinger], Sitzpinkler [seated pisser], and my favourite: Turnbeutelvergesser [gymbagforgetter - someone who gets out of PE at school by conveniently having forgotten to bring their gym gear].

Still missing “Sesselfurzer” (armchair farter) (pencil pusher) a person who solves the problems of the world from the comfort of his armchair but all he produces is a lot of hot air.

Love your reaction to these insults. Basically these are real insults but I think the use of certain insults depends on age, origin, purpose, circumstances etc.

11:15 These are all real insults, although some of them are definitely more common than others (maybe also dependent on the region). Words like "Evolutionsbremse" are very uncommon, while words like "Hurensohn" are used basically all the time.

I would like to contribute an experience from my youth at this point: It was sometime in the 1970s when we, a German school class consisting of boys aged about 16, made a trip to GB. We also visited London among other places. One day, a group of us - about 10 boys, including me - took a ride on the London Underground. As we got off the train, we had to go through a long dark tunnel towards the exit. In the middle of the tunnel, a single woman came towards us. Otherwise, there was no one in the tunnel. As she passed us, one of our group thought it was funny to say something obscene to her in German. I don't remember if anyone in the group laughed. The lady simply replied "Same to you, whatever it may mean!" and continued on her way calmly. I was deeply impressed by her quick-wittedness and her composure in the face of confrontation with a group of rowdy teenagers in a dark place. I would have liked to tell her that this was the best of all possible answers, but in the situation it was probably best to leave it at that.

"Teetrinker" I heard for the first time as insult. A lot of Germans drink tea. I also don't know anyone, who really hates the English. The only insulting word I could find with Google was "Inselaffe", but no one uses this among my friends. If we want to joke about England or the English, we are most likely saying something about your food or your beer. In Former times we said something about your football, goal keepers and penalties, but for Germans this is not funny anymore 😩.

Dwayne, you're such a marvelous gem

Where were Teletubbies created? Well in hell, obviously

1:13 That was an 1971 talk show and the manager of the band "Ton-Steine-Scherben" Nikel Pallat demonstrated his opinion concerning capitalism.....! Famous and epic....! Greetings from Germany...🙋🏻‍♀️🇩🇪

If teletubbys were created in Germany, they would be tortured like Bernd.

I use "Arschgeige" every morning in traffic

third section is absolutely true. the beauty in german is, that you can make EVERYTHING into an insult if you are creative with your words :D

Hey Dwayne, did you really ask "where is nine"? But didn't you know: seven ate nine! 🤣🤣🤣

Really,you struggle with Tee trinker, tea drinker???two different letters!😂

Dwayne, you really have developed a fine feeling for language nuances ! And by the way- what do children learn first in the kindergarden ? curses ! They love it. So please, make a video on english curses that will give us strangers/ foreigners a wider vocabulary 😂. Nothing combines us more than mutually cursing.

Teletubbies are british! They were created for the BBC in 1997 by producer Anne Wood and writer Andrew Davenport.

The weird thing is that he has a German accent when speaking English, but also he has an English accent when speaking German. 🤔

I love your reactions man! Funny guy! Greets from a northern german potato!

Hi, Dwayne! Some insults like "Evolutionsbremse" are nearly clever satire. It's not a crude word (like the "f"-word in that video), but rather a more sophisticated swear word. Sometimes you need a bit more imagination to let it work. But it`s definitaly funny. And it was funny when you said "CAVEMAN" before it was clear!!!! 😅👍

7:12 - no, NO,! Warmduscher has nothing to do with a douche, it's just mockery of not being able to handle a cold shower.

of course you can understand german to a certain degree, english and german (and all other nordic languages) are germanic languages to begin with. vikings spread their languages, any many roots are still remaining, even if the languages have evolved apart. for example, in his example "missgeburt", you should have focused on the the "burt", which means "birth" if you're interested in those roots, i can recommend "How anyone (including YOU) can read German" by RobWords but i really liked that reaction, keep up that great work :)

Your German is now definitely better and suitable for everyday use^^

But that’s the point of swearing at you…that you understand it💁😁

I always liked "Schmallspurhirn" basically a overcomplicated way to call someone an idiot.

Also, he forgot to mention "Schattenparker". People who park their cars in the shadow instead of the hot, manly and blistering sun! 😂 11:35 it literally translates to "evolution brake", so... basically someone who slows down evolution significantly ;)

Some of those insults aren't used like "Teletubby-Zurückwinker" or "Teetrinker" but Evolutionsbremse or Missgeburt are used. For words like "Warmduscher" it's more like a joke than an actual insult. I think you wouldn't understand if you'd only hear it for one second and don't get the time to think about it For kids shows: We have "Shaun das Schaf" which is from Bristol but many children here know it. Because there is no real language spoken, there isn't anything to translate but kids shows can also be translated

I like descriptive, full sentence insults like "Da ist er, der wandelnde Hirntod." translated: "There he is, the wandering brain death."

Dusche means shower in German :D

Even some friends think twice calling each other hurensohn

You repeating these insults made my day. Just heard Missgeburt over and over for the last 10 minutes. So lovely. Keep it up man and finally come to Germany

Missgeburt means more like a freak of nature, though. I'm surprised he didn't teach the beautiful Flachwichser!

You Brits once nominated us Germans as the funniest people in the world. I'm still trying to figure out if that was an insult or not.

When you say "Schweinehund" its sounds kinda nice for some reason 😅

Now you are prepaired, to visit Zombieland :) I love your reactions, Sir !

Oh Dwayne, your ancestors came with the Windrush ? I hope they were not affected by the scandal a few years ago. And your pronounciation and guessing are really good ! Love from Germany.

I am German. When you went "Fotze" I felt offended! Good pronunciation mate! 💪

Teletubbies invented in Germany? Thems are fighting words!

Dear Dwayne you made my day with this lovely reaction vid🎉😂 top saussage,Bro! Thanks for your fine & honnest reactions😮 & roll on steady! Greetings outa Berlin & see you on the next one!...t.

Evolutionsbremse is one of my favorites. I didn't know it but like it. Passt fast auf jeden zweiten Amerikaner und jeden dritten Deutschen. PS: Nine is(t) Nein!

Great video! 😆

In Poland we have 'głąb", which calls someone a head of cabbage, but not even the whole thing - just the dense useless bit in the center.

as a bavarian i could insult you and if i would use the nice facial impression of the normal french waitor (friendly smile) you wouldnt even guess so ;D

Teletubbies: Developed by Anne Wood and Andrew Davenport, the series was produced by Ragdoll on behalf of the BBC at Whitchurch from 1997 to 2001. New English episodes began airing in November 2015 and new German episodes began airing in April 2017. Broadcasters in over 60 countries acquired the broadcasting rights.

Arschgeige is used today for people who annoy you but originally it was a very bad insult to homosexual men

Some of these insults would rather be used if you talk bad about someone or if you are alone in your car or in front of your laptop and the other can't hear you.

Not to be confused with inner pig dog,witch just means your inner lazyness.I get it ,from time to time your inner pig-dog needs to be cuddled.

6:15 It's now lost, but Arschgeige originally was a homophobic slur, as "geigen" (to fiddle) was during early modern times used as a metaphor for the sexual intercourse.

1:33 This is a real german talkshow 1:33 THIS is a REAL german handcrafted full wooden table!

he could have probably explain what these insults are used on since the literal translation not always tell you the usage but its a nice video.chuckled at the evolutionsbremse probably will use this one in the future

"Teppichfransenkämmer" 💼 Someone who brushes the fringes of his rug. Means it is somone who is a little bit too accurate-for example an accountant.

Spelling of the first word is: Who ran zone (spoken as one word) But we also have: Buttergolem (Butter golem, for a fat person) krummbuckliger Hustensaftschubser (crooked cough syrup pusher, makes way more sense in german :D)

There is also a difference between "Schweinehund" and "Innerer Schweinehund" (inner Pigdog). An inner Schweinehund is an invisible creature thats "reigns" when You are procratinate too much.....! 😂 Oh.....and by the way: Do a kind of "Klaus Kinski-medley" and there is a very good chance, to hear all insults ever possible.... 🙋🏻‍♀️🇩🇪

Teletubbies has been dreamed in England

"Intelligenzallergiker" & "Denklegastheniker"

Hello from Germany 😂❤ very good lecture

Arschgeige was actually also a kind of seggs toy a few hundred years ago. People would put something into their Arsch, bind it to a string and bind the other end of the string to their toe, adapting pressure by moving their toe up and down and letting it vibrate by 'playing' the string, similar to a violin

I think the Warmduscher is explained poorly. It means you are a weak person who only showers warm, a poetic form to say weakling. Jeansbügler is similar someone who wastes his time ironing jeans.

Tee trinker.. the plattdeutsch speaker(Ostfriese, Nordfriesen, S-H) drink 🍵😀

The northern german tea ceremony in Ostfriesland (the region on the north sea coast) is UNESCO world heritage.

Your pronunciation is really good

I was on a holiday in Ireland in 1998 and on that journey (a car tripp) for the first time I saw teletubby's(at tv in a northirish pension). A year later, they have arrived at german tv

Fotze is my no. 1. The tz loud is perfect for expressing the disgust

especially the last few are really funny insults, if you ask me. Evolutionsbremse, Teletubbiezurückwinker…. LOL

I miss some absolute classics like Hackfresse, Arschgesicht, Drecksack or Gehsteigpanzer.

My favorite insult is "Dackel". Just google and look at the pictures that come up.

My Personal Favorit is Suppen-Casper 😂

I'm so glad that the teletubbies are not created in Germany. I felt like this kills the brain of my 3 year old toddler when it comes out

Jeansbügler is an insult towards men that is somehow also sexist towards women. Because it basically calls men who iron their own jeans weak and effeminate, as ironing is "a chore for women".

Is there any reason why we should use these german insults in german speaking countries? There are a lot of really better ones ;-)

yeah i dont think you can remember than you smart Schweinehund ^^ Love from Germany great Video like allways.

in the " ruhrpott" area in germany " was ein experte " = What an expert . is a insult but not a to bad one , if a friend messes up you can say " du bist ein echter experte " = " you are a real expert " for my it is always funny if they say in tv shows " now we got some experts invited "

These are real insults that are used every day in Germany. I can confirm that.

Many of them i never heard, but they are infact a insult. And that's the beauty of the german language.

I'm German and i think, there's nothing wrong with drinking Tea :) It's very common in northern Germany.

German is a very good language to invent insults. you can just combine words to create a new one, and every german will understand. Its kinda wonderful. :)

Also,he has great editing.

Oh yeah, these are insults. Count on me as a German.

dusche literally means shower not douche xD so showering means duschen also remember he said that he just adds two normal words together so you need to guess basicly 2 words xD

We have a higher rate of "Teetrinker" than any area in the world. I am german, from East Frisia. It´s the area at the north sea, directly at the border to the netherlands. And its not an insult! The teletubbies are created in GB.

13:35 and you could learn absolutely nothing. i'm so lucky this got "popular" when i was already 19-20 years old, so i could safe a lot of brain cells :D

then you became a Teedrinker😂Sorry mate

7:05 at this point: no you dont

Teletubbies... ich hoffe England 😅

You should check out the German equivalent of rare insults.

8:57 People drink more tea in northern Germany than in Great Britain, so the insult actually makes no sense.

Where can I send recommendations for a reaction video without them being automatically deleted?

I'm German and I have never heard some of these (made up?) insults like "Teetrinker".

3:28 lmao

Teetrinker is the most insulting one.

Evolutionsbremse is just savage

If you need nr.9 let' s try ;)

My Experience as german: Insult 1 and 10: Is nowadays commonly used from the youth for the most its nearly meaningless as I was a teenager... some decades ago 😢... back then you can really get in a lot of trouble if you saying it. Today its often less meaningful. Insult 2: Is also very known but more used like a side insult like you get really enrage and spit out a lot of insults one of them is mostly the first and the second. ^^ Insult 3: Its more a traditional insult and today just a weak one. No one 'insults' you with that seriously today. Well the insult overcome itself I mean Pigs are very intelligent and genetically extremely near to humans and a dog ... I mean come on the best friend of man? I don't must explain that. - No seriously its more common to greet your old friend you met like "Hey Dwayne du alter Schweinehund, na wie gehts dir?" - "Hey Dwayne you old pig dog, how are you?" so a friendly greeting insult under friends Insult 4: Also an older word. And no wonder he didn't can describe it why its insulting its just as meaningless as in english. But is frequently used and even if its not as harsh as 1 or 2 its for sure an insult. Insult 5, 7(in the video as Insult number 6 again): They are soft insults which should show how weak you are. So a chad would never shower with warm water only with cold water like a man. A chad would never drink tea(mostly in the thinking of any hippy herbal tea to calm you down or open your mind) but would drink just coffee without milk and sugar like real men should do it. So this kind of thinking is the "insult" in these. Was more used in school between kids cause its kind of soft insults. Insult 6: "Jeansbügler" never heard of it before. If I had to guess it I had said its meaned like 5 and 7 so unnecessary task which you do cause you want to be over correct and it seems like weak/gay (not my opinion just this viewing point of 'chad' thinking). Or may be that this person is dumb cause you don't must iron jeans. Insult 8 (in the video as Insult 7): This is a good one rarely used but it hits good and is more a insult where the opponent must think twice what is meant in a heat of moment. Insult 9 (in the video the third time number 6): Was more common as teletubbies were often discussed in media if they make the kids stupid but mainly if they mess up the language from the kids. Insult was meant between weak in chad cause overfriendly, dumb cause you do it and/or just retarded.

5:54 "We also use *"hound"* for dog as in german *"hund"* > Even better: *Old English* for "dog" is: *"hund"* > The exact same. > from Proto-Germanic *hundaz > Source also of Old Saxon and Old Frisian *"hund"* > Again,...try to compare always *Old (low) German vs Old Saxon* & you get 90% of the time a BINGO... ;)

Dusche = Shower and has nothing to do with a douche. Warmduscher means you're soft, weak. Yes, Evolutionsbremse is an insult :D As to the "we understand you" part - Austrian german entered the chat XD Teletubbies are English
