In Germany we don’t say “I don’t care” we say “Das ist mir Wurst” which roughly translates as “This is sausage to me” I think that’s beautiful.

no you don’t understand we actually do say that

i crashed my car into a bridge

THIS IS SAUSAGE TO ME

We also say “That’s not my beer” for “That’s none of my buisness” and I think that’s beautiful

is germany even real

My roommate dated a German.  When I was making dinner one night, he asked my roommate, “this food… does it taste?”

At our confusion, he explained that in Germany, food either “tastes” or “does not taste”.  Which he then said he supposed said something about German food.

To be fair we do say “it tastes good” and “it tastes bad” and many variations thereof, but when we want to be succinct, then yes, it just tastes or doesn’t taste. 

Other fun turns of phrase in German include:

  • “Ich versteh’ nur Bahnhof” = “I only understand train station” for when you’re confused
  • “Hast du Tomaten auf den Augen?” = “Have you got tomatoes on your eyes?” for when someone’s not seeing the obvious
  • “Auf die Schippe nehmen” = “Take someone on a shovel”, basically means to take the piss out of someone
  • “Du gehst mir auf den Sack” = “You’re walking on my sack” for when you’re pissed off

the world is beautiful

also there’s  two more variations of “Du gehst mir auf den Sack.” (btw by sack we mean testicle. yeah.)

  1. “Du gehst mir auf den Senkel.” = “You’re walking on my shoelace(s).”
  2. “Du gehst mir auf den Keks.” = “You’re walking on my cookie.”

ALSO WE HAVE THE WORD “DOCH” (basically means yes, but in response to someone saying no) AND IT IS A FUCKING TRAGEDY THAT THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE HAS NO EQUIVALENT

I MISS ‘DOCH’ SO MUCH you basically have to settle for “does so” or “yes it does” or something not half as succintly defiant

I also miss “aneinander vorbei reden” = “to talk past each other”, meaning when people are completely missing each other’s points / talking about two different things. It’s such nice imagery.

And we call stupid people “Hans Wurst” = “Hans Sausage” (no matter if you are boy or a girl)

Yeah, if we are surprised we say “Holla die Waldfee” = “Holla the forest fairy”

Seriously though, how do children grow up without “doch” und “trotzdem”?

Holy mackerel I love this soooo!!

Cursing in German is the best c:
Auf’s Fressbrett kriegen is my favourite, literally means ‘to [hit] someone on his faceplank’. Or ‘ich traue den Braten nicht’ ‘i don’t trust the roast’ when you don’t trust a situation.
Halt’s Maul/Halt die Fresse for shut up.

In dem Sinne, alles klar.

@anneappelschnut are you guys for real

I’m just imagine Kurt using these phrases and Logan’s ‘wtf’ expression…

– This is sausage to me.
– Everything is sausage to you.

Who made the first move: Remy. It’s always Remy.

Who said ‘I love you’ first? Also Remy.

Who’s more protective: Maybe Ororo. I feel like Remy would know she could handle herself. Anyone that can call down a lightening bolt at will probably doesn’t need much protecting.

How do they cuddle? When and where? Gambit’s into PDA so, like, whatever he can get away with. Storm is definitely more reserved (in public, anyway). I feel like Gambit could get away with handle holding and a smooch or two. But anything else is reserved for private quarters.

who’s the funnier drunk?: I think they’d both be amusing and friendly drunks. I bet Kurt can handle the drink better than Kitty can.

who texts more often? Kitty for sure. Kurt doesn’t like texting because it’s hard with just two fingers. Also, the touch screen doesn’t respond right to his fur.

who reads more? Kitty. Kitty is always reading.

who is better with kids? It’s a tie. They’ve both been teachers. Kitty ran the JGS. I feel like Kurt might be better with small children and Kitty’s better with teenagers but they can both handle themselves fine.

who would make a blanket fort? would the other help? Kurt’s a bit more whimsical so I think he’d initiate and then Kitty would quickly follow suit. Movie night in a blanket fort?! Yes, please.

who complains more? I don’t think either of them are much on bellyaching. I don’t think Kurt complains at all. He’s too good natured. Kitty might. But just a little.

who’s more protective? I’m going to call it equal. These two have known each other since Kitty was 13 ½. They’ve got each other’s backs.

how many emojis do they use and which ones? Since Kurt is allergic to cellphones, all emojis come from Kitty. She likes to send him the little kissy face.

who’s the funnier drunk?: Kitty. She’s sloppy, happy, and prone to dancing on tabletops. She also snorts when she laughs.

  • what’s “their song”? The Way Things Are- Fiona Apple

    • who tops/bottoms? Hm. I’m going to say it depends on the situation. I don’t see either of them being locked into routine.

    how many emojis do they use and which ones? I cannot, for the life of me, imagine Peter Wisdom using emojis. Unless he was trying to be obnoxious. He probably doesn’t even know how to use that bit on his cellphone. Kitty send him the poop emoji sometimes. You know, when he’s being a shit. Which is often.

    who draws sharpie dicks on the other when they get blackout drunk? I’m going to say neither would do that to each other. Kitty’s not that crass. Pete is. Seems like something he’d do to Braddock.

    who reads more? : I don’t imagine either of them are bookworms for some reason. ‘Star would rather watch TV. Ric will curl up with a magazine on occasion. 

    weirdest hobbies: Ric’s got a collection of religious idols and a tiny shrine in their room. Results of growing up *very* Catholic.

    do they go trick or treating? who stays home and hands out the candy? No trick or treating, though ‘Star *loves* candy. He usually hands it out, as he’s fascinated by the costumes.

    what are their coffee orders? Ric drinks it black and very strong. It’s the sort of coffee that might melt the lining of your stomach. Shatterstar will order something that’s more sugar than coffee and is probably topped with whipped cream. 

    what are their favorite TV shows? American Ninja Warrior is the current fav. Though ‘Star doesn’t understand why so many people fail to complete the challenge.

    ‘Surely this is a competition designed for children?’

    ‘Uh, not everyone can do what you can, ‘Star.’

    ‘Hm’

    who said “i love you” first? – Oh, that’s pretty difficult, actually. Kurt’s maybe a bit more of a romantic. I can see him confessing that first.

    do they go on dates? what are they like? Well, I know they both like to dance so I can see that maybe being a focal point. Romantic dinners by candlelight. Kurt’s still not 100% confident in public though. And I doubt Storm would want him to use an image inducer. So maybe it’s a cook at home and dine in affair.

    who’s more protective? Kurt’s pretty chivalrous but I’d be more worried about pissing off Ororo. She will destroy you with a look.

    who gets jealous easily? I think Ororo is pretty darn confident. I don’t see her as being the jealous type. Kurt wouldn’t want to be jealous but he’s definitely got a few insecurities in regards to his looks. Even if he doesn’t broadcast that often.

    FX Networks has ordered the pilot for Legion, the story of a troubled young man who may be more than human, it was announced today by Nick Grad  and Eric Schrier, Presidents of Original Programming, FX Networks and FX Productions.

    The pilot introduces the story of David Haller: Since he was a teenager, David has struggled with mental illness. Diagnosed as schizophrenic, David has been in and out of psychiatric hospitals for years. But after a strange encounter with a fellow patient, he’s confronted with the possibility that the voices he hears and the visions he sees might be real.

    Noah Hawley (Fargo, Bones) will write the pilot and serve as an Executive Producer along with Lauren Shuler Donner (X-Men: Days of Future Past, The Wolverine), Bryan Singer (X-Men: Days of Future Past, Superman Returns), Simon Kinberg (X-Men: Days of Future Past, The Martain), Jeph Loeb (Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Marvel’s Daredevil), Jim Chory (Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Marvel’s Daredevil) and John Cameron (Fargo, The Big Lebowski).

    The pilot for Legion will be produced by FX Productions and Marvel Television, with FXP handling the physical production.

    “Legion is just the sort of ambitious story that Noah excels at,” Grad said. “His adaption of Fargo for television was one of the most acclaimed television events in recent memory. It’s also an honor to partner with Marvel on Legion and to enlist such an accomplished team of Executive Producers to create this pilot.”

    Legion is the latest project from Hawley and Cameron, two of the Executive Producers of the Emmy® and Golden Globe® -winning FX limited series Fargo.

    ARE YOU F*CKING KIDDING ME?! We need @sispurrier input on this. 

    Holy. Crap.
