[Q&A] Verbally dealing with foreign opponents

Recommended Posts

How do we properly communicate insults to other languages when playing GTA Online?

 

I, we actually, should all know the proper way to insult our "brothers" in other languages, so this will be a Q&A thread about such...

 

 

I will start with a question for British people:

Is it offensive when I say, "f*ck the Queen" or make a reference to Buckingham Palace being the Disney World of the UK and therefore Queen Elizabeth II is like Mickey Mouse?

 

For people from the UK;

Calling us Americans "wankers" or "tossers" doesn't mean sh*t. It may be an insult for you, but we really don't understand the offense behind it, it means we jack-off a lot? Who doesn't?

Anytime I hear a foreign player not from the UK I immediately turn my mic off

 

 

Not only do they speak jibberish they also have to scream at the top of their lungs

British people really get offended when you say "f*ck the queen"? I'm from Holland and we also have a monarchy but I doubt most people would really care if you insulted the king and queen.

 

If you want to insult a Dutch person, talk about how easily we were defeated in WW2 or something I guess. Actually, I think the slave trade history is more sensitive but you should know your facts before talking about that or you're just gonna make yourself look like an idiot.

 

edit: Oh and don't be from the US or another country with a histroy of slave trade if you're gonna use that. :p

I don't think you have to be white to be a gringo. Just means American, no?

Just say "F*ck You"

That is a universal insult right there.

Actually, I don't find that kind of thing offensive. There are a number of British people who don't believe in the need for the Royal family. There are likely a number who would be offended by that but, uh, I've never met anyone who cares all that much. Maybe my granddad. He's 90. So that really only has any weight against people who might be Royalists, or patriotic or ... actually care.

 

I don't.

 

 

Wanker's a weird word, as is tosser. They just sound ... odd, and mean basically the same thing. Then again, I don't think anyone even thinks about the meaning of the insult - just, 'it's a bad word so people must be offended by it'.

I'm from UK!

 

The Queen: Meh, not so much - if my Grandmother heard you insult The Queen though, you'd better run and hide! If you want to insult me (and others like me) - say horrible things about Jessica Ennis or Mo Farah...or David Beckham. Stephen Hawking is considered below the belt!

 

For Korean players, I do my impression of an angry Jin from Lost - I have no idea what I'm saying but it seems to work!

Insulting the Queen doesn't offend us Brits, i could give two flying sh*ts about her tbh.

I got called a moose-f*cking igloo dweller for being Canadian once, so I told the guy I use maple syrup as lube, just to perpetuate the stereotype.

Can't hurt a white American man's feelings. Fact.

Wow... what a thread. I'm serious, an open and honest question about inter-cultural habits and means of communication... but because this is GTA:F, it's all about how to best offend.

 

If you want to piss of Americans, say something about how we need guns... or insult Creationism.. or worse yet, call Regan a "Commie".

Oh yeah? Your favorite sports team plays as well as the Raiders.

If you want to insult a Dutch person...

As soon as I read that, I thought about:

"Cowboys in the heartland, bankers in the city

We love cars, guns and big ol' plastic titties!

Lets grab a case of Pißwasser and, drink for the U.S.A!

Hey neighbors I'm sorry, we're partyin' real butch

Ya oughta speak English if you like it here so much!

Not Spanish, or Chinese, or British, or f*cking Dutch! f*ck the Dutch!"

I cried when I heard that and then burned an American flag.

I tend to use the word "Spastic" as it is international.........like- "be quiet you f*cking spastic",usually has the desired effect!

True that.

Who needs insults when we have guns?

German people:

Are Nazi references to passé?

Is it insulting when I pull a quote from Eric Cartman and say, "Es ist zeit für rache! Wir mussen die Juden ausrotten!"?

It's passé if you ask me but it still really gets on their nerves. And I mean really. They absolutely can't stand it.

That's what's always been strange to me, America did not invent slavery, the English brought over as many or more white slaves as people to settle the land...the Spanish are the ones that actually started the African slave trade, continued by the English, and brought over to America...Americans, in actuality, ended slavery

I really don't want to turn this into a nationalistic clusterf*ck as threads like these usually become, so don't take this as an accusation or anything like that, just an honest question. Weren't the United States the major user of slave labor, and didn't this continue much longer than in other parts of the world? Slavery in the US was only abolished about 150 years ago, no?
