I am currently on the search for French Delays and French Muggings (translated Retard and Molestation, respectively.) This got me wondering, are there any other cards I should know about along these lines?

It is Spanish, and the word is Negro, not the other N word.

German Winter Orb has a name that works perfectly well in English, and yet is much, much better than the English name.http://magiccards.info/5e/de/408.html

Any card with the word "Hybrid" in it's name will translate to "Bastard" in German.http://magiccards.info/tr/de/63.html

So in Germany if you are playing cards of the "hybrid" colors you are playing "bastard" cards? Also, do some people in Germany then drive "bastard" cars?
