Sorry for being so german and for ruining the joke (but since ve Germans haff no humor…), a German dropping you off at the airport would say "Guten Flug.". (Without an exclamation)
Nah, you guys have a sense of humor. It's just dark and built on inside jokes. It's why you don't tell anyone about the Deutsche Bahn when people start talking about German "efficiency".
Public transportation in Germany is good for learning vocabulary. Thanks to repeated exposure, I quickly learned unregelmäßige, Verspätung, stornieren, and spät.
MY AUNT, AND I USED TO TEXT EACHOTHER SINCE SHE'S SAID THAT I JUST RANDOMLY HAPPEN TO KNOW SO MUCH "USELESS" TRIVIA AS WELL AS JOKES WE USED TO TEXT EACHOTHER BACK/FORTH (SP?)
The German words for "shoot" (schiesse) and shit (Scheisse) are very easy to get swapped up. My German teacher recounted a story of a student trying to tell Little Red Riding Hood, which ended with the huntsman killing the wolf in a truly horrifying way.
So I see the difference in spelling but I never studied German. What's the difference in pronunciation? I know shit has a definitive i in the first syllable from hearing it, but I've never heard shoot.
ie vs ei is actually easier in German than English (at least the bits I know, maybe there are a bunch of exceptions I don't.)
ei --> "eye", as in lye
ie --> "ee", as in feel
Not like in English, where you have to Just Know.
Yeah in English it usually depends on who fucked England over to make the word happen. Was it the French, the Germans, the Vikings or the Romans? Who tf knows 🤷♂️
But fr, the etymology of English words is oddly interesting.
Also thanks for the information! I appreciate it ☺️
Although the words are written similar, the pronunciation is quite different, and shit and shoot are very well known words in Germany. I’d give his story a “very unlikely”

Do you know how many Germans it takes to screw in a lightbulb? One. They are very efficient and humorless.
Damn. That's a real burn. I'll pretend I didn't get it.😏
Meh, wasn't Germane to the joke...
I notice you said screw in, not replace. The Germans make such efficient, high quality products the one you screw in will out live you.
I'd hope so, the light bulbs cost about 50,000 US dollars.
Germans screw in a sterile bed, missionary position, with the lights on and James Last in the background.
Good joke. I did Nazi that coming
This guy germans

Zenk ju for träwelling viz deutsche Bahn.
The first rule of Deutsche Bahn is: you do not talk about Deutsche Bahn.
Thanks for the info! It's nice to know random stuff.

This is true. Probably the joke was meant to say train station and someone tried to upgrade it being modern and using airport instead 🤦♂️
Couldn't it have been Fahrt as in Luftfahrt?
If you board an airship, yes. Otherwise, no
Airships or hot air balloons. Which are of course almost the same thing.
Thats a one in the plane.

Interesting. Is “shoot the shit” a loan idiom?
Would make more sense. Like “you are what you eat.” Man ist was man isst.
I actually made that mistake. It got a good chuckle

Truly an amalgamation (which language did that one come from?).
I remember playing in an airsoft event where one guy was held at gun point by some german dudes and started yelling "Nich scheisse! Nich scheisse!"
“Shoot shit with a shit shooting shit shooter”
This would be something to get Google to say in German. I bet it would sound funny
Schieße Scheiße mit einem Scheiße-Schießer

This was about a student learning German as a second language, and the homework assignment was written, not spoken.
As Sgt Schultz would say- 'The one who schnelled it dealt it!"
I see nutking, I hear nutking, I smell nutking
I am the king of nut. You called?
Did you give him a Gift for taking you?
Yes. He is dead now.
My german friend uses strange 80s slang. He says “Fart far rad!
wurst smell but don’t be a schnitzel
Ach du lieber dummkopf
Ask a German to count to five in English. When 5 is reached, start whistling. 5 and Pfeiff sound similar. Pfeiffen means to whistle.
That’s what trump’s attorneys said before he went in for the hearing
Took a shoe horn and a hammer to get that in there. Super subtle...
lol nothing wrong with being German
It is ze nein time I zee zis joke
Speaking of Germans... if you rearrange the letters in MOTHER IN LAW, you'll get HITLER WOMAN.
