Should be noted that Hurensohn in German is a lot harsher than son of a bitch in English

MODERATORS
Doesn't it literally mean "whore-son" (huren-sohn)?
My German is poor.
It does. But while in English you could easily say something like "you son of a bitch, you did it" to a friend, you wouldn't do the same with Hurensohn in German as this would offend most people.
Were all of these contents edited 😵
?
They all say removed where the expletives are for me
edit:
Lemmy.ml has a slur filter that bans words like female dog (derogatory) and prostitute (derogatory).
...seriously?
Yeah. Not those literal words of course, but bitch and whore.
Depends your circle of friends I'd say
Google notes huren as whore, if that lines up a bit more, with sohn being pretty self-explanatory.
Reminds me of whoreson from GoT
Yeah, that's the ballpark of where "Hurensohn" is on the harshness scale. You can't say it admiringly either. So "oh, you son of a bitch, you did it!" isn't possible for "Hurensohn".
Never met an Aussie that can't say expletives in an endearing way.
Or Whoreson Jr from The Witcher, who was also a fucking psycho.
It's like cunt in America.

Neuer Kommentarbereich im Osten.
Reddit isnt democracy
Reddit is an autocracy since they censor criticism
Spez's whole ancestry line excluding common ancestors is a son of a bitch
