It is a fücking ü not u.

Anyway, moons ago I have been posting a thread on "false friends" you meet when translating things or words that do sound explicit in the other language.

- For example, there was this US allgirl metalband in the 80's who called themselves "Vixen". Funny name for a German, for it sounds like a word that describes manual stimualtion of your sexual organs.

- I don't have to discuss the expression on people's faces when you tell them "I do a lecture on KANT at Uni". If you pronounce the name of the famous German philosopher like we Germans do, it sounds like ... exactly what you are thinking about.

Vixen is a female fox in the UK

its funny how different countrys have varying words for the same thing

like in the UK schumacher means " he that will cheat to gain reward"

I know what a fox is: It is basicallly a flat bloody mess, lying at the side of the road with skidmarks on its back. I bet the female ones aren't any better.

And your mother was driving....I know the scenario.

Its like when your watching a film, eg Top Gun, and there's one semi nude / or sex scene (the blue nipple scene in Top gun) and as the short scene starts, your mother or father walks in, (never fails) at which point you say 'It's not all like this!' and they walk out again. Agony.

That makes me remember the two 17-year old exchange students from Vermont (US) who almost dropped down dead when they saw the commercials on German TV. Nude women under a shower, praising "body lotion X" or "peeling scrub Y", and that at 3 pm and all the family watching. I never saw young people's faces turn faster from a pink hue, over to a bright red and finally to a darker shade of purple.

Very true. Indeed in the USA it is impossible to see commercials or ads like the ones we have in Europe. I was there more than once and the most daring thing I saw was tobacco ad with the word "sassy". Like late night movies, here are porn, there nothing more than sassy indeed.
