Germany — Phrase #3

😂#3 Creative Genius

Backpfeifengesicht

/ˈbakpfaɪfəngəzɪçt/

Literal: A face that's begging to be slapped

Feels like: The poster child of German compound insults. More appreciated by language enthusiasts and writers than regularly deployed in actual arguments — it's a literary insult, not a street one
