Metallica's drummer Lars Ulrich is also of Danish origin - how's that for an unlikely mention on the Chip and Fiffle board !!?!

OK, danish I understand, french and german I can decipher, but finnish crosses the line...
Andreas, stand in the corner!

Hoed; groetjes.

Finninsh? Danish? You are all delusional... Not recognising the language of heroes and honour; Swedish. An interesting fact is that Dutch actually is extremely easy to read for a Swede with some knowledge of English. It is more or less a mix of some English, mostly old Swedish and a ton of extra vowels.

Say, isn't a "berliner" a sort of jelly doughnut, and the word to indicate a citizen of Berlin something else? Sort of like "Carioca" for a Rio de Janeiroid. I recall rumors of Germans laughing behind their hands when Jack Kennedy said that.

I'm a 'merkin.

Did you think i was saying i'm from Berlin?

Post by **Nanohedron** » Wed Jan 14, 2004 11:57 am

Well, I would find it entirely within your character to declare yourself a jelly doughnut.

"Berliner" is that lovely, quite fatty donut as you are saying and it's high time is soon coming as "German Karneval" is in February....

I cannot remember Germans laughing about President Kennedy not if he used the term "Berliner" as it also counts for the citizens of the town, they were very proud of him. Like Berliner there are also Hamburger which in Germany is a sausage and the people from Hamburg. Well, Zoob's "Pariser" hm.... well I better not mention what it means in Germany as this might be another reason on top why schools cannot access this forum

Looking at the laughing aspect when hearing him say "Ick bin ein Berliner" than it could be for the "ICK" as mostly English and Americans have problems with the German "Ich" as it is spelled more like "iche" as in Michelle. Speaking of pronounciation problems.... most Germans have problems in saying "the" not correct it sounds more like the "sse" as in Golumn's "preciousese".

P.S. Like the way the thread kept growing with all the different languages... macht bitte weiter so....

I sure watch it before someone steals it.
He'd be smarter to steal my watch while I duck,
else I'll sneak back and--pop!--goes his weasel.

Did you think I meant I'm no [bleep] err... I hear there are kids around.

Though, a five-year-old kid could understand this.

I doubt the "Berliner" thing was a joke in Germany, due to the seriousness of the situation when it happened, but it's become a nerd joke since, and that's why i used it.

Speaking of jokes, here's one i read today in a Douglas Adams book: this guy wakes up in a hospital after the operation, saying "Doctor! What's wrong, i can't feel my legs!!!" And the doctor responds: "That's because we amputated your arms."

Groucho Marx. I watched a Marx brothers (Groucho, Harpo and Karl?) movie last Christmas, in Slovakia, and man, i hadn't laughed that much in a long time. This reminds me, i gotta watch more of their stuff. Classic! Harpo, by the way, is Oprah spelled backwards.

I've been exchanging some emails with Brigitte and Colin Goldie, and i just wanted to say, and here seems to be as good place as any, that they're great, the nicest and kindest couple. I heard they make good whistles too.

And last but not least, Zubivka, i didn't PM you.

Great thread Loren!

Hmm, yes well.....I wish I had taken more than one year of German in High School, perhaps then I'd be able to enjoy this thread more!

So what? You expected to be safe from me answering nonetheless? In this thread safe of s*x, politics**, religion or rec***ers?
