The Jostiband is a Dutch orchestra for people with a developmental disability, mainly people with down syndrome.
A [triangle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle_(musical_instrument)) , or triangel in Dutch, is possibly the simplest instrument you can think of.
So calling someone a ‘triangeljosti’ is basically comparing them to someone who plays the simplest possible instrument in a band for developmentally disabled people.
Triangeljosti.

That’s so specific. lmao
I'm wheezing. Never heard it before but the image is livid in my head.
This reminds me of the not-very-edifying-at-all moment when "joey" became a universal term of abuse in UK playgrounds.
I have heard this insult used in English, just not ever condensed into one single word. Bravo.
I wouldn't be surprised if that person you heard it from was just translating that same word into English. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Never heard that one being used, though.
It’s not super common but I do hear it on occasion.
