Three Hundred Hairy What?
Posted: November 9th, 2010 | Author: Deke | Filed under: Slovenia | Tags: Slovenia, ThoughtsAs part of my immersion into the landscape that is Slovene, I’ve started asking for some purely native insults in the language; words or terms which are not inherited from others. Having lived in Flanders for some years, I was sort of expecting some colorful remarks akin to “your father should have speckled the sink”. The results thus far are slightly different.
It turns out that it’s a hard question to answer. Apparently, most of the terms come directly from English or one of the neighboring languages. Anyhow, to keep this short so you can better spend your time with a peder, I present you the results of two weeks intense research. I’m still looking for more|meaning if anybody would care to enlighten.

“Three hundred hairy ones.”
“Let the hen kick you.”
Hvala!
