      I was trying to find a specific one but couldn't find it in English. The genre of shit talking is called "hija' poetry" or satirical arab poetry you can find stuff from pre islamic time periods but good luck translating it

        I have an irl friend who is fluent, I’ll find a way to bribe him into figuring it out. Thanks!

      Not exactly Arab but a Hittite king said Armenians are inbred xenophobic assholes As an Armenian it always makes me chuckle

      A lot of the surviving Bronze Age writings are sassy
