Mussel: hideous girl
Goose: insufferable girl that won't shut up/has an annoying voice
Vulture: someone desperate for something
Gorilla: Fat man with black hair
She-wolf: prostitute
Cod: someone that's gullible/easily fooled
Rabbit: coward
Mole: someone that can't see well
Larva: someone that lays around and does nothing all day (NEET)
The rest I can think of are shared in English (Italian)
Here in Finland "a rat" is a person who lives by government money. They are unwilling to go to work and often times are jobless for ideological reasons. People who go to work on the other hand are called "sheep" by rats.
>As in camel
The intent of this thread is to use animals that can be used as insults in your language. Camel can be used in mine for some reason (maybe because we were invaded by arabs for 700 years).
Bear is also an insult here.
bitch/dog, horse (face), rat, worm, leech, wienerroach, parasite, ape/monkey/gorilla, sheep, maneater (more of a general predatory quality than a specific animal I suppose).
any large animal to denote a fat person, e.g. cow, hippo, whale.
giraffe to denote a tall and awkward looking person, usually a woman.
most common animals can be used in varying degrees of insult.
likening someone to a spider (or a snake) would be more akin to calling them creepy and deceitful than being a generalized "you are bad" insult. i'm sure it works similarly in most other cultures, but using animals as insults in english is more about attaching a specific quality of that animal to the person, those qualities being contextually understood via culture.
In SEA, this is a 'hia'.
It's a taboo. Worse than saying 'Black person'.

Here in Finland "a rat" is a person who lives by government money. They are unwilling to go to work and often times are jobless for ideological reasons. People who go to work on the other hand are called "sheep" by rats.
We use the term "rat" in America as an insult to people who snitch or give information to the police or authorities.
As in, “camel”? What?
Based Finns
Actually you can use it interchangeably with ‘roach’ as well

Not completely related but one of my favorite insults is just "ferme ta gueule" in french.
It's just shut your mouth but with a degrading word for mouth you wouldn't normally use for a person, like saying "shut your snout you pig"

You forgot pig for cops and men
instead of chicken we say rabbit
but that's not an insult, that's just being wrong
Simple stuff.
Most common ones are hmar/donkey, baqara/cow, and kelb/dog.
What country though?
