Who you calling rabble, you blue scumbelly?

Apa ya maksud ungkapan blue scumbelly di sini? Rupanya ungkapan blue belly sering dipakai di masa itu. Apa ya artinya? Thanks.

Explanation:

scum sepertinya disisipkan, sementara blue belly (perut biru) merujuk ke warna seragam tentara Union (utara) dalam perang saudara melawan tentara Selatan (Confederate).

√ Karena menurut referensi kata-kata ini menghina, tugas yang ada adalah mencari kata Indonesia yang cukup menghina namun tidak sampai kena sensor. Yang cukup "aman" adalah berkunjung ke kebun binatang: bajingan, kunyuk, babi, dst. kerap digunakan u/ menghina orang.

It has to do with the color of uniform during the Civil War. Blue for northern states and grey for the southerners. It is not a phrase of well regards. It is slang and derogatory. "Blue Belly Devils," is the same phrase with a little pepper.
