Herr and Frau can shove it. ( it = our constitution [nicely rolled up for a snug fit] which they certainly don't give a hoot about in this power gamblin' thing they're into at the moment).

How about a game of Monopoly for, say, a thousand Euro?

I'll stick with "Prinz Eisenherz", no matter if her PR people dragged her to a hairdresser or not.

Nope. I replied to the one above stating that people must have been contemplating the disc.

I was.

You are in a fighting mood today, aren't you. I need to do some work though and will quote an old favourite: "Ah'll be back."

damn! and i spent a few minutes googling for klinger in a moo-moo to illustrate that "general unpleasantness" / "general in a peasant dress" thing. ← Start a new (neutral) thread and let us have it anyway?

Yeah, right... Isn't that "Frau Dorftrottelin"? Like "Frau Bundeskanzlerin", I guess ← I don't think that there is a title that goes along with that. At least I hope there isn't.

Name your poison and ask if I have any of it. If you hit one spot on, you'll get the 1,50 back as well. (I promise to give an honest answer)

Yeah. It's usually used to describe Angela Merkel, I know, but I didn't want to insuate anything. Nothing. Nada. Not really. P.S.: And it would have to be "Dorftrottelin" then, anywho, err how.

Now, if you had some Teddy Wilson I don't have yet ...

BTW: The Tequila is still available ... The Euro 1,50 are gone though.

Don't use the word logical in this thread. We're talkin' "Dorftrottel" here.

35? How do they stay that young?

If you go a bit south of that, you're spot on. The correct version is "Eine Ratte badet sich". But even my dad didn't know that one, and he grew up their, err, there.

Sounds cool to me. Back to jazz ...

- sorry - I deleted my response as you have yours. Peace (for now)?

Try to be a good sport, mate. You have your type of humour (which is certainly a matter of definition), I have mine. Let's leave it at that, ok?

Allen. Stop whining, please. You have dealt out heavily yourself and some people have taken you up on it (in a much milder fashion). I, for one, have been closely follwing many of your posts, not to catch you doing it but to read what you had to say (and yes, you have lots of good and interesting things to say). I could not help but notice that you have a knack for, err, overstating your case here and there. And I used profanity once, I think - today, when I expressed a bit more forcefully that you should keep it down. So don't make an issue of it. You're too smart for that.

Good grief, what dialect is that?? Is it "Was hast Du denn da"? ← Ding, ding, ding. That's 1 Euro 50 for you. You are welcome to collect at my place. I'll add a couple of generous shots of Tequila, or any other poison you subscribe to. Or you can double and figure this one out: "A Rat bat si." ("Fränkisch")

"Waddehaddedudennda?" See if you can figure that one out.

The answer might take a while. Allen is searching.

Dialect (but don't tell 'em. They might not get it).

@ J.A.W. "[...] der, wo [...]" "[...] die, wo [...]" "Wasn das" instead of "Was ist denn das" [many people think that "Wasn" is actually the way it is said). "anschliesen" instead of "anschliessen"/anschließen" (I hope the 'sharp' "s" shows up here) "das" instead of "dass" "nich" instead of "nicht" "wechsle" instead of "wechsele" etc., etc., etc. ... The additional problem here is that we have a trillion dialects which seem to force people to write the way they speak. Want more examples?

Here in Germany, the list is endless as well. I don't think there's a point in posting a list here though.
