In Quebec French, people sometimes say of someone who's not particularly bright:
"His mom rocked him/her too close to the wall."
It's just so... vivid and random.

A strong insult in french would be to tell that someone has been "fini à la pisse".
I don't know how to translate that but it would means that their dad did not have enough sperm so he used urine to conceive them.
Bizarre j'ai jamais entendu ça...
C'est bien connu en France:
Il a été bercé trop près du mur.
Mieux vaut tard que jamais pour l'ajouter à mon arsenal d'insulte 😁
