[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 358218, member: 710"] Interesting, never heard of this - And I am from Germany. Maybe German changed in the past 30-40 years, but I don`t know a way to mispronounce "Berliner", so that you confuse it with "Berliner". :) Both words look identically in script and are pronounced the same way. You can use the word for some silly and not so great puns. :) Scheisse is certainly very important "One Liner". :) If you want to use some lines of movies or series, try this: "Harry, fahr schon mal den Wagen vor". (Derrick) Translation is: "Harry, get the car" (okay, this does not fit the style, but I don`t know a better translation - at least you get the meaining) (The thing remembers me of something we German tend to make when in Britain or USA: "Waiter, I become a beef steak" - "I hope not, Sir" - "become" is similar to the German verb "bekommen", which means "get" - But at least this is a mistake that probably really happens) "Das interessiert mich einen feuchen Dreck" oder "Das interessiert mich einen feuchten Kehrricht" - That doesn`t interest me (That does interest me like wet dirt) "Du kannst mich mal" oder "Leck mich" - Eat my Shorts (?) Oh, and if you remember Wolfenstein 3D, the German Officers there called "Mein Leben" (my life) when they died - actually, no German would say this when he dies, I think, but would anyone in your group notice? :) Mustrum Ridcully [/QUOTE]
