Insults are – more or less – barbed words we use to refer to another person, usually to hurt their feelings.
What’s your go-to insult?
The cheekier side of language
Few words get people more interested in a language than its insults and swear words. Luxembourgish is no exception: there’s a reason this particular category (Frechheeten) is among the most popular in the Lëtzebuerger Online Dictionnaire (LOD).
This page includes six illustrations of insults that, depending on context, range from tame to more daring. You can also download these illustrations.
Most importantly, you can vote for your favourite insults for a chance to win a prize!
