Side note: the translation you chose for bill was not one of the two I was thinking of (Schein as in currency and Rechnung), which reminded me of when my student asked why there were two words for receipt and I listed off five and just had to apologize

Ah fuck

I mean, Zangendeutsch really takes it to another level with the absolute commitment though

To be fair, it’s a common source of comedy for speakers of any language with a lot of loan words to treat them like calques for the purpose of momentary confusion. People refer to little mules or little asses when discussing Mexican food in English, for example. I also didn’t even start learning German until 2009, so I definitely wasn’t there when it started.

In many German Reddit meme communities, there’s a ban on using English enforced by the community through an all caps ouiji style comment chain, telling the offender “sprich deutsch, du hurensohn,” which means “speak German, you bastard [literally:son of a whore].” In response to (edit: Probably separately from but working well with) that, people began trying to avoid the use of germanized English words and wound up creating basically a pidgin in which things that don’t literally translate are translated literally, completely muddling things for English speakers learning German. My favorite example is a company that used to be run by bill gates, winzigweich, which makes kraftpunkt, Mannschaften, und überbiete, in addition to Fenster.

Edit: the pidgin is called Zangendeutsch (tongs German)

That’s why I used subjunctive :)

I got a bunch of preshrunk plain colored linen pants and shorts and they’re comfy as fuck, cool in the sweaty months and for my job at a bakery, and still look at least business casual (the long pants, not the shorts) even if they’re wrinkly.

I fucking love masc dudes in skirts, there’s a (hopefully good) chance she wouldn’t react poorly

That’s just zoomer again

Don’t be so cocci! Not everyone likes the same vibrio. I hope that doesn’t sound too savagella.

Hmmmm

My German speaking brain (as a second language, my native language is English) is interpreting “my way” and “several beers” as accusative objects, and the repeated use of “into” as clues which would make me want to use the same conjugation for both. I could see “I sneaked into the concert but I also snuck several beers in.”

PLASTIC!

Polar bears hunt even when not hungry because of the general scarcity of food in their environment

It looks fine, but I’d double the fat and start checking them after around 15 minutes

His nose is so cute

And there’s no I in team covalent

If you don’t want to deal with it at all forever, you might want to look into electrolysis/laser hair removal. Depending on coupons and providers in your area as well as the type of hair you have, that might be the cheapest option, but it’s permanent/semi permanent, so it’s not a good option if you suspect you’ll want to have facial hair later in life. It can range from $250-$2500 total, so it’s also a very hit or miss thing.

When my ex studied abroad in Germany, he made a group of Mexican, American and French friends, and they had parties on Cinco de Mayo and on the Seventeenth of May, the former held by the Mexican and American students and the latter by the French after learning about Cinco de Mayo.

Even if you were 110% legal, would you risk getting someone who isn’t snatched up?

It clearly doesn’t matter to ICE or the regime generally if a person is a citizen
