from Dear Abby, August 13, 2008
Anyone have any idea what surname this could be?
No idea, but I thought it was mildly interesting that all that part about the surname was edited out of our paper. For space, probably (poor Abby only gets a small space every day).
Roddy
Douchebag?
The given names of the grandfather’s son suggest an English (British) heritage, at least to me. Apart from that, I got nothin’.
Maybe Raper?
cox?
dix?
wiener?
butts?
cumstien?
focker?
I’m out.
Glasscock?
I knew a guy with a last name of Fink. Is fink an insult in a language other than English?
I met someone with the last name Putz. Could that be it?
Bush.
Kuntz?
Same thing.
Lipschitz
How about “Dick”?
“Dick” is an anglicized version of “Disch,” which is “fat” in German.
A bit of a stretch, but it’s a common English name and I would be surprised if it doesn’t have a negative connotation in at least one other language.
My first thought was Pratt, but English and American English are both still English. I am betting it is a Jewish name that’s been mauled, Putz or Schlitz or something.
Or perhaps Schmuck. Poor Peter’s surname is so “offensive to public decency” that he can’t sport it on a vanity plate!
The word in German is actually ‘dick’. There is no word ‘Disch’ in German.
It’s a small bird in Swedish. 
actually, the verb ‘douchen’ means to take a shower in Dutch…
Dick - spelled ‘dik’ means fat in Dutch. Not very nice.
It is a finch in German. Steve Allen claimed credit for making fink and ratfink into funny words.
