They’ll all sound funny, some might only be known regionally, and I might not know the underlying meaning for all of them.

1) First the one you probably already know: if you’ve heard that Backpfeifengesicht (~ BUCK-phyfen-guh-SEEKHT) means “a face in dire need of a slap,” that’s exactly right. #GermanInsults
2) Honk. Probably just an insult because it sounds funny, and because there’s a weird rumor that it’s an official abbreviation for “Hauptschüler ohne nennenswerte Kenntnisse” (= lowest school degree and no noteworthy skills). But that’s likely apocryphal. #GermanInsults
