"You son of a prostitute" Most European thing I've heard today
Here in Finland we say "the pup of a whore".
Added benefit of being gender-neutral.
Based Finnish
Fun fact: The German original uses "Dirne" which is a very archaic word, could probably be translated as something like "harlot"
So a Dirndl is a slutty dress??
I mean - nowadays it sorta is, it's been heavily relegated to sexually fetishised contexts.
But the reason a "Dirndl" is called that is, because "Dirne" is a word that used to mean just "woman" but went through a linguistic evolution to mean "prostitute" quite a while ago. Off the top of my head, I don't know of an example that happened similiarly in English, but I'd guess there's bound to be something like that there, too
"Courtesan" is an example in English, originally meaning 'noblewoman'.
There's also "minx", which originally just meant 'person'. (It's a cousin of "mensch".)
Saving that one for trivia nights
