Triangeljosti.

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.

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)_/¯
