German Insults

My friends Josh and Heather moved to Germany last summer so that Josh could take a job with Mercedes-Benz. 3steak and I saw them when we visited Germany in July. At that time, Josh was just starting to get the hang of his German language skills. Apparantly, he's progressing quite well because he recently shared four ways to insult someone in the regional Schwabish dialect. So, next time you want to start a bar fight, just bust out one of these bad boys:

Warmduscher - "One who can only take a warm shower"
Schattenparker - "One who only parks in the shade"
Weichei - " Soft Egg"
Beckenrendschwimmer - "One who can only swim on the shallow side of the pool"
