Is it geshundheit?
You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

Spike's Bitches 34: They're All Slime and Antlers
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
Notes on bitte: [link] Bitte is used fairly often as the equivalent of "don't mention it."

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Danke is Thank You. Bitte is You're Welcome. Those, plus "kinder" and a few food names, are pretty much the only German that's survived the three generations my family's been in America.

Very much like the Spanish "de nada." Shows you how long it's been since I studied German!

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
So what you're all saying is, I wasn't the confused one? Woot! Love when that happens!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
IIRC, "little" is "bisschen", so, kind of close. As in "Sprechen Sie Deutsch?" "Ein bisschen."
I just accidentally sent an e-mail to a mailing list instead of my husband. I'll be spending the rest of the day under a rock, mortifying away.

Very much like the Spanish "de nada."
Or the American "no biggie."

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
And while we're on the German lesson, it's "gesundheit". [link]
