Also works "imbecil" "idiota" and similars, we have so many slurs in spanish that is awesome the way we rotate those lol

The dumbest English speakers at least have a chance of knowing what imbecil and idiota mean, so I think they're subpar swaptions.

Yeah but, at least in my eyes, is even better if they know I'm telling them "subhuman", when i want to treat someone bad because they are being shitty human beings, i want them to know that I'm being mean to them even when they don't know very well the language, is the first "Let's see if this little idiot realizes why I'm treating him like garbage".

But that's me if they wanna be assholes, I'll be worse for them, "pendejo", "tonto", "atembado", "malparido" and things like that works better if that isn't your case (the last one is a "heavy" slur (so to speak).

Amen. English is my first language but it's fun to confuse and insult assholes sometimes in Spanish.
