What's the meaning of "Saumensch" in German?
I'm now reading an English book but there're some German words in it. Google translate can't translate the word "Saumensch". What does it mean? Is it a dirty word?

Question

Answer

You're right. It's an insult. "Sau" literally means "swine". "Mensch" is "person", and can refer either to a man or a woman. So, Saumensch is something like "bastard", "bitch".

Answer

A Sau is the German word for sow, or a female pig. And Mensch is a person. So a Saumensch is simply an unpleasant person.

Answer

I was just watching an episode of "The Big Bang Theory", with German subtitle:

"That's hilarious" was translated as "das ist ja saukomisch."

Answer

Which book are you reading actually then?
It sounds interesting.
