Ok, thanks. I studied linguistics for another language years ago, (a language without any ‘th’), so it was a guess. Still no answer of what it is or why it’s used.

Unrelated, but how and why do you use the thorn (or something else?) as th-replacement?

“Grumbern” is the same in parts of Frankonia.

(Electric) kettle would be the “right” word for Wasserkocher.

Brits and their weird non-compound-words.

Since they shut out Linux players last week. Taking away access to things someone bought, used and can’t use anymore because of something the supplier did could be interpreted as theft.

Ok, thanks for the update. I’m neither a car guy nor a native speaker.

Older (pre 2000) diesel cars needed a few seconds, sometimes a minute to “warm-up” the starter. You had to turn the ignition half way before you actually start the car. That’s the only “warming up” a car might need to function (normal circumstances).

Not disagreeing with you, just want to add my flavour of “the image is stupid”.

Also, unless it’s the first move of the game, you need a word on the board to add your own with a shared letter.

Any old racing game would do. Emphasis on “old”, as modern non-arcade racing games are weird to play on keyboard.

Even though I knew the context, I’m kinda scared that might happen here too (we don’t have that much guns here, but people have ways…). Just remember what happened to Shinzo Abe in Japan, where gun laws are very strict and the shooter just went and built a blunderbuss.

Whatever the reasons of that certain shooter, it’s plausible that some ultra-right nutjob would want to kill Weidel because of her being “not extreme enough” or her homosexuality (that’s a fact, btw.) and accidentially make her a martyr.

Not where this bridge is built. This looks like a German autobahn, so the closest thing to a tiger crossing that is either a lynx or a fox.

I know the type. It’s probably a more aged variant or evolution ot the more party-prone stereotypes.

Contains overdramatization and slight exaggerations

Cheapest flights possible to the cheapest “vacation” island possible. Vacation as in

• drinking until you can’t even pronounce “hi”
• habitual disturbance of locals and other guests
• being fleeced by club owners and everyone else because you have “tourist” stamped on your forehead
• sleeping off the night by the pool and pre-game from midday to evening
• only eating (and drinking) the same stuff as at home, because fuck other cultures who don’t know how to make a kebab/Schnitzel/…
• coming back after 10 days of daze, hangovers and (optional) all-inclusive buffets

Did I forget something?

When he was finally done, he approached us and I said “Hi how are you?” with a smile.

There’s probably the problem. Don’t ask a german “how are you”, they will interpret it as the start of a conversation, not a greeting. You might either get weird looks or a detailled personal and medical history of that person. In food service, you get to the point. A “Excuse me” or “Can we order please” is a way better way to initiate an order.

My thoughts exactly. We’re already two, so there’s a market. Someone exploit our demand!
