What's the specific meaning of the insult? Maybe we can think of a good English equivalent.
There is no specific meaning, a good translation would be a twat or a dummy. Why salame out of all things? I have no idea.
We have meathead...
Definition of meathead seems to check out, but Ive always seen it used with the burly/jock type of connotation. Never heard anyone call a cute child, or a businessman, or a hot looking girl a meathead, but maybe I'm wrong as usage may vary in different places.
No you're spot on. Sausage remains "not directly translatable" I guess.
