`You depressive china of noxious burro deer slabber`. Is it just me thinking that it's not ok to have China in the nouns list? Or do we also find "united states of america" or "germany" in there?

"China" is a term used for fine dishes made from porcelain as far as I'm aware (non-native speaker myself)
- ragtagtag 3y ago
  In this case, I suspect "china" comes from Cockney rhyming slang, "china plate", "mate", as in "friend".

    No, it's referring to the tableware -- every word in that position for all the phrases is a container of some sort (or at least a thing that can contain other things).

    It's not names of places. Japanese spaniel is a dog breed. Colorado beetle a beetle. Yorkshire terrier another dog breed.

  Ironic that china (the dish ware) was coined[1] for a common source of porcelain at the time, China? [1] https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/china#English https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/china#English Edit: Capitalization

But China under CCP is actually depressive.

It's lowercase, so it's probably not China the country but china as in porcelain.

Come on, there's reasonable (n words would probably not be the greatest even in an insult generator), and then there's what you're complaining about. China is a country that is viewed negatively by most of the western democratic countries. And for a good reason. If you equate China with Asian, implying racism, that is your own bias speaking.

  Probably reasonable people would differ on whether unfavourably viewed (by the West) countries, such as Iran, Cuba, Palestine, or Saudi Arabia are disliked for good reason or not. I agree with other comments that “China” in this context is intended to refer to porcelain. However including “Persian” (rugs?), “Cubano” (cigars?), “Afghan” (dogs?), or Arab (numerals?) as nouns in your cute online insult generator is probably a bad idea. Edit: I see that “Boston” and “English” are also included as insults. At least with those there can be no doubt.

    Dog breeds like Boston (terrier) and English (setter|bulldog|…) are included in the animals list.
