It would also be a great name for a skinhead metal band.

"Ausgezeichnet" that's one of my favorite Deutsche words to say!

That's marketing genius right there, Homey.

German words are a hell of a lot better than German cars or German beer.

Does it really count as Schadenfreude if it was at least partially because you benefitted?

If it doesn't, then you could fix your comment as follows:


Schadenfreude (def). n. 1. The feeling the f'in hillbillies had when they learned that Texas was going to the Alamo Bowl. :mad:

Which is especially strange because they all have diesel engines.

Everybody feels it, but the Germans admit it by giving it a name.

I'll drink a bad German beer over a "good" mass market American beer any time. I do believe very strongly however that United States craft beer is among the best beer in the world.

Factoid:

"WienerSchnitzel" is NOT a sausage. It is, in specific, "ViennaSchnitzel", a dish made from thin-sliced veal. There many other varieties, many made with pork, but all are basically the Austria (Osterreich, with an umlaut above the "O".) version of chicken-fried steak.

And here's my fave...Holsteiner Schnitzel, pork cutlet with a very runny egg, usually comes with anchovies crisscrossed on top.

"Wien"-Vienna as the 'Strians spell it.
"Vindabona"-Vienna to all dem dead Romans.

Well, Homey'll cover History...and very, very well. I'll be the food police, LOL!

Have a safe and loving Christmas, Troup.
