  1. and today's German word of the day for @Frogsicle is:

    tja

    - a German reaction to
    the apocalypse,
    dawn of the Gods,
    a nuclear war,
    an alien attack or no bread in the house

  2. Got a reminder this evening of a spectacular German word: "Arschgeige" (loosely pronounced "ARSH guy guh"). It's a word used for a person who's a complete screw-up.

    Literally translated, it means "ass fiddle."

    An example sentence is:

    Der 45. US-Präsident ist voll die Arschgeige.

    You're welcome!
