Hello Everyone!
Thanks for bearing with me! With all the insults. Hope you enjoyed yourselves just a little bit too. I DID look into numerous slang dictionaries and at websites, but usually they weren’t very creative, or else outdated, or else just TOO wacky. So I thought I would ask all of you. I realize that there were quite a few of them, and also that most of them should not be translated literally. SO … big big thanks for all your *helpful help* … Wish I could give out more points, lots of great suggestions …
Thanks again! Gunilla

Not for grading:
Maybe this would be the useful source:
The Alternative German Dictionary
you could find it here:
www.notam02.no/~hcholm/altlang/ht/German.html
But I doubt whether you can find such ornate insults you have listed even there :)))
Good luck!

German is such a marvelously feces-oriented language. English simply cannot compete with German here and so all of these phrases 'Scheiss'-phrased (I like 'Korinthscheisser in particular) are impossible to translate literally. I propose the above simply because I like its sound.
