bist, Du Kindskopf?
: "Can it be that you are really a little unreif and underdeveloped, you
child head?"

1) German 'unreif' :
= English 'immature'
2) German 'Kindskopf' :
= In German a very apt term to designate a mostly male person with thinking and moral capabilities still fixed on or regressing to the "Matay'an" stage of the earliest narcissistic childhood phase of spoilt
bratism, resulting feelings of inferiority (de facto not only a virtual psychological 'complex') and the struggle for a compensating show off (even with pissed diapers).
The nearest English equivalent to a word for such psychic deformity being still unknown to this lexicographer; the formal term 'little boy' or the more colloquial one 'silly billy' (restricted to British "English"?) is only a poor try to explore the said abyss.
