【Bengali Archives】

Good insults are Bengali Archiveshard to come by. Thankfully, there's a new subreddit that captures some of the very best, and in more language than one.

Newly founded subreddit r/TranslatedInsults collects insults in many languages. While some of the insults border on aggressive and some are downright vulgar, there are plenty of them that, when translated, come across as beautifully absurd.

Reddit

The subreddit's moderators have made it clear that it is not meant to be a hostile place. Instead, the group provides a lighthearted forum for jabs that, when translated, turn into something delightful.

"First and foremost, just be kind to each other. This sub is in place for insults, yes, but not insults aimed at each other," the community rules state. "Posts should be about translated insults. Insults that, when translated into English, are quite funny in their wording and meaning."

It's so rare to find a space on the web that provides this level of jabbing without becoming cruel. The sub has just the right amount of biting humor, a tricky ingredient to handle.

I'd like to offer an alternative idea for a subreddit: kind comments collected from every language.

Instead of, "Your mother has an outie belly button," we can try, "Your mother has a beautiful belly button." In lieu of, "May a goose kick you," we could use, "May a goose cuddle you."

This subreddit would probably have one follower, but I'm sticking to it. May a goose kick me if I get it wrong.
