Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
You know, I haven't.
Well, if you weren't hitting random keys whilst watching Xander. In a Speedo. Wet., what the heck does "backpfeifengesicht" mean?
This *very* one, and it is free, and many of the terminally whupped find it convenient for finding their people, and having conversations, when time permits.
Sounds like a communist plot to me.
German also has the really cool Handschuhe and Pfliegermaus, to name two personal favorites. Also, Schweinhund.

SKIPPER. It means a face that cries out for a fist in it.

Fun with German (spelling optional)
Rollentreppe --Rolling steps, ie, escalator.
Schmetterling --thing to step on, ie, butterfly. (that's the definition my Hubby always told me, but I figure it's more "thing that looks like it's been stepped on" from how it looks when the wings are opened. Hubby's birth language is German, because his military family moved to Germany when he was 3 days old, and the family was told to speak German as much as possible so they could blend in, since it was the height of the Cold War. He remembers hiding under a car with his little sister and watching tanks rolling by when the Berlin Wall went up)
SKIPPER.
No, SKIMMER.

Well, of course! What other meaning could those letters strung together have! @@

I love German. I don't speak it, but I remember when my college roommate was taking it. A lot of words are just a bunch of words strung together. It's amusing.
Timelies all!
Am amused by the nifty (though hard to pronounce) German words.
