I was asked to sit on a panel @ MidSouth Con 24 entitled "SF Cusswords and Insults".  It was a fun group of panelists, you can read more about MidSouth Con 24 here.  The following was an experiment I did by taking some general  insults, translating them online into various languages, then translating them back to English.

“Your mother wears gravity boots”

Portuguese: Your mother consumes gravity portals.

Spanish: Your mother uses gravity shippers.

French: Your mother carries gravity initializations.

German: Your nut/mother carries force-of-gravity loadings.

“You’re dumber than a box of moon rocks.”

Russian: You’re sillier than a box of lunar rocks.

German: You’re mute like a box moon rock.

Korean: The box of the month rock spreads out like a mute.” (Not insulting, but kinda poetic anyway.)

Italian: You’re dumber than a scato on the moon cliffs.

“I wouldn’t touch you with a 10 foot manually-deployed escape pole.”

Italian: I wouldn’t touch you with a 10-foot escape pole handbook.

Russian: I wouldn’t touch you with the manually-developed pole of rescue.

Portuguese: I wouldn’t touch you escaping 10 feet into the manual-unfolded Polar region.
