    In my native language it’s highly offensive to call a woman a female. Didn’t know that’s the thing in English.

    At the same time we call children “human larve” and everyone is ok with that

      In Low Saxon (and Northern German) there’s “Schietbüddel”. Depending on how you translate it it could mean “chaotic/sticky minion” or “bundle of excrement”.
