Area of specific interest. Heard recently on BBC Radio 5, ‘Right up your Strasse’. Clearly calqued from ‘right up your street’ but with a tone of contempt. Does the rhyme and association with ‘up your arse’ have anything to do with it?

Originally a Romani term of respect (dadika) for an older person, this has come to mean (in UK English) a Gypsy or traveller who is not of pure blood. The insult is therefore compounded, not only does this person have the negative qualities that prejudice has associated with travellers, but they are also of suspect descent, doubly damned.
