The Hungarian "beka segge alatt" simply means to be a very bad (emotional, economical, etc.) state or low position. This is not an insult.

10 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

Exactly. Just a few corrections to the actual grammar and writing of the phrase "A béka segge alatt". Cause e and é make different sounds...

Yes, I agree with that is a phrase used. Not that often these days, but definitely still in use.

They say it isn't used. Maybe it's a regional thing. Thank you for your expertise. =o)

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I can agree it's not that common to use right now, but it used to be.

You would know if it was used a long time ago, huh? ;oP lol

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

The hungarian is wrong. While the translation is good, its not used as an isult towards people in itself. Its used if something is subpar.

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

For example "Our healthcare system is under the frog's ass." It CAN be used as an insult e.g.: "Your IQ is under the frog's ass."

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

As a German myself, "Dunkelbumser" is not commonly used.

To be fair, Buzzfeed is cited as a source, so you can expect it all to be bullshit.

But Dunkelweizen is pretty commonly used, and I'd take that insult in a tall glass.

As a Russian, the Russian phrase is certainly used (uncommonly), but the translation is incorrect. Not axe; it refers to a stake.
