      Regarding the use of Kanaille in German, note that the noun is always feminine, never masculine.

      Example:

      "Ming ist eine Kanaille", not: "Ming ist ein Kanaille."

        Also, if I call up on you guys to invade Mingapulco, I say:

        Mir nach, Kanaillen!

          Then there was Don Kanaille in that Käpt'n Balu series. More popular culture references?

          Turks are called Kanaken but this has nothing to do with that.

                You call Turks "Kanaken"? That's unspeakably hilariously bizarre.

                  Americans call Canadians that. Funny is it not?

                  Where does the word come from originally?

                          Hawaiian kanaka "people". The anglicization "Kanaky" is a politically incorrect term for a Pacific Islander.

                            Is it a coincidence that there are a close similarity between canuk an canaille ?
                            With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
