"Enculeur de poules mortes" which basically means dead chicken fucker. It's translatable but sounds so much better in french.

    I knew about "enculeurs de mouches", or fly fucker, that is said about a person that is way too picky about useless details

    Something about how fancy French sounds, juxtaposed with how vulgar the insult is, that makes it stick.

    Like a guy in a tuxedo, but with his junk out

    In English it's more like a guy at Walmart in sweatpants with his junk out; not that shocking
