In order to be really Teutonic, it should've been written warmongeringneoconglobalistlesbianaffirmativeactionpropalestinianbushpetlapdogacademic.

There. How's that?

[FredZarguna]

Obviously not, since auf Deutsch it would be something like: riegstreiberischenneokonservativenGlobalistenlesbischeaffirmativeactionpalästinensischBushakademischenSchoßhund [or in the original:] warmongeringneoconglobalistlesbianaffirmativeactionpropalestinianbushpetlapdogacademic

The spaces are a dead giveaway.

[dainbramaged]

Nein.

[FredZarguna]

See also #43. So now we know who the echten Deutschen are...

[FredZarguna]

Reminds me of a Fraulien I had in the back of my Volkswagen Microbus when I was stationed in Germany. We had a few drinks, one thing lead to another, and pretty soon she was screaming "Nine, Nine, Nine!" and I was screaming back, "Lady, you're way off..."

[Shark24]

Agree but the video is pretty good.

People get so intimidated and put off of German because of those bizarrely long words. I don’t know whether it’s lazy, efficient or some combination of the two, but once you know they’re just running a bunch of shorter words and/or names together, it’s more comical than intimidating.

[FredZarguna]

Contrary to a lot of nonsense, Germans have an excellent sense of humor, and like any sense of humor that isn't based in cruelty, most of it is self-deprecating. They're the first to admit how comical their straightforward compounding makes long nouns appear and sound.

The Welsh do the same thing. In fact, I believe the longest known word in any language is a Welsh place-name, which not only describes but gives brief directions to the town.

When my company tried to roll out the “Ban Bossy” campaign for women’s history month, I blew up. There are women in the developing world who can’t go to school past middle school for lack of bathrooms and hygiene options, so they drop out once their period starts. There are women in the Muslim world who can’t go to school because they are female, not allowed out of the house. We could look at high powered females today who have been secretaries of state, prime ministers and world leaders.
And your big thing is to ban a WORD.
That doesn’t empower women. Instead, it suggests that girls are the hothouse flowers men accused women of being in the 1920s. It makes women out to be nannying nags, monitoring and suppressing speech instead of going out and accomplishing things.
I suppose the only reason I’m not fired is because I’m female myself.

Thanks for reminding me. It’s been a while since I was exposed to German.

And Fred, I’m impressed you know the ASCII code for an a with an umlaut!

[RipSawyer]

You are right. Many married women have very selective memory, when something goes well they recall having persuaded their husband to do it even though he was reluctant, when things turn out badly they recall having struggled to convince him not to make that terrible mistake but he was too hard headed to listen to the voice of reason. They may give their husbands occasional credit for having made the right decision on his own without input but just about never admit that they talked him into a decision that turned out badly. How many married men want to tell me how wrong I am?

[GeronL]

They already haas Slutwalks so who knows

[lee martell]

Your graphic sums it all up. Not 100% of the time, but for a great majority of the time, it’s simpler to get along with most men. That just means I need to open my mind (and close my mouth) some more, I guess.

[lee martell]

Looks to be 9/10th adjectives and 1/10th noun; or description heavy.

[GeronL]

Why would businesses and the Girl Scouts come out in favor of banning words?

[GeronL]

They ain’t burning books yet, just one word at a time...

When I first heard the term "Ban Bossy" I thought maybe one of the greatest hockey players of my lifetime had done something wrong and had brought the outrage of the feminist movement down on him:

More likely that would have been New York Rangers' fans.

LOL. That’s right.
