Italian term or phrase: cruccolandiani
Ai pittoreschi insulti dialettali del napoletano, profferiti così lentamente che anche la dizione si trasformava a sua volta in un insulto, il crucco rispondeva con frasi della nativa cruccolandia, inizialmente incomprensibili per tutti, ma che per non privare del piacere della conoscenza la controparte, venivano prontamente tradotte da un secondo crucco, anche lui nativo della cruccolandia ma del versante sud, quindi corrotto dalla vicinanza alla razza italica e che lo accomunava così a quella che per i cruccolandiani duri e puri rappresentava a sua volta una minoranza etnica nella minoranza etnica.

Explanation:
“crucco” is a derigatory slang term for German speaking people. It was first used in WWI and it’s used all over Italy, not just in Naples

https://it.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crucco

I guess you should first briefly explain what “crucco” means

neutral  Angie Garbarino: niente a che fare con i napoletani, se leggi bene, qui è il crucco che risponde ai napoletani e NON il contrario, il testo dice: il crucco rispondeva con frasi della nativa cruccolandia

neutral  Isabella Nanni: While kraut is the equivalent, not the translation, of crucco, the text speaks of neapolitan, attributing kraut to neapolitan is wrong, see discussion
1 hr
  -> It isn't attributing kraut to Neapolitan. The text speaks of Neapolitan insults, but crucco is not Neapolitan dialect and is not attributed as such in the text. It's a general pejorative term - as is kraut.

agree  Angie Garbarino: Yes :)

agree  P.L.F. Persio: Crucco è usato anche in italiano, quindi va benissimo adattarlo in inglese.
