accents usually don't translate well in dubbing so the German dub of "Tabula Rasa" mostly marked Englishness through poshness and food which I could probably write an entire essay about alone but nancy boy also didn't translate well so they went with a pretty direct contemporary word and the dialogue in that episode pretty much boils down to "I like mint sauce" "welcome to the faggot club"
