5 Bizarre Belgian Insults To Know So You Can Yell At The World Cup

1. Kwal

Translation: Jellyfish.
Meaning: An arrogant guy.

"Belgium's manager is such a kwal, he's about to taste the power of American freedom."

2. Snotneus

Translation: Snot Noses.
Meaning: Used to describe an annoying pipsqueak or little guy. Kind of like calling someone a snot-nosed kid.

"That snotneus Eden Hazard is only 5'7! Just kick it over him!"

3. Schijtluis

Translation: Shit Louse.
Meaning: Cowardly, yellow. Pretty much the same thing as when you call someone chickenshit in America.

"Penalty kick?! That was a dive! What a schijtluis!"

4. Zak

Translation: Bag or sack, as in ball sack.
Meaning: Somebody who is a total dick.

"We'd be winning if this ref wasn't a zak!"

5. Viswijf

Translation: A woman who sells fish (look, we didn't make it up).
Meaning: Often used to describe a woman who is loud, talks a lot and is a frequent gossip, obviously even more derogatory if used to describe a man.

"No one tell my Belgian friend I cried when America lost, he's a real viswijf."
