Looking for a dirty word in ST:Vanguard: Harbinger

[Cut]

Yes, I know it sounds like a somewhat strange request, but I'll explain where it comes from later on

I am reading the german version of David Mack's novel Star Trek:Vanguard - Harbinger. There is a scene when Scotty is getting something 'green' When he leaves Glanz's establishment he swears. The german translator made something very dirty of it and I was wondering which english/american term Mr. Mack let Scotty use.

I am reviewing the novel for a german website and I tend to be unhappy about the translation efforts. That's why I had stopped reading translated novels years ago, anyway I have been offered doing reviews of Titan and Vanguard series and accepted. I don't want to judge the translator's effort without actually knowing what term came up in the original text.

So, anyone, can you help me out, please?

On a personal note: I am halfway through the book right now and although not everyting pleases me I am surprised how much I like it. I am usualy more a TNG than a TOS guy.

The word in question is "Wankers."

Without the latex gloves, perhaps?

German word for wanker
Often used to insult people who are really pissing somebody off.

wichsen means masturbate but also is used as an insult, mostly the noun
The noun 'Wichser' (literally 'wanker', a person who masturbates, usually male) is a quite frequently used pretty strong term of abuse. Even though the literal meaning is different it is pretty much equivalent in usage to the english word 'Motherf*cker'. e.g. 'Ihr Wichser!' - 'Motherf*ckers!' (plural)

Wow, that second one seems stronger. You know, Down Under "wanker" is almost a term of endearment!
