    Always fun to find German words where the English equivalent fell into disuse. (Hurensohn = whoreson)

      Hurensohn is the direct translation of “son of a b*tch” which is still quite frequently used last time I’ve checked

        “Hurensohn” means “son of a whore,” and the English word “whoreson,” the direct equivalent, used to exist.
