Teach yourself German

The Motor Car

Indicators - Die Blinkenleiten Tickentocken

Leaner - Die Twatten mit Elplatz

Windscreen Wiper - Der Flippenflappenmuckspredden

Cyclist - Der Pedalpushink Pilloken

I thought you would have included Stoppemfloppen :)

:O This is supposed to be Teach yourself (or in your case, yersel) German.

How are the students going to know what that means in English?

Accident - Der Bledinmess

Near Accident - Fukken Ner Schittenselfen

Good job the title of this thread is not, 'Teach yourself *certain other languages*', otherwise you'd have a veritable army of 'tree hugging barmy-army lefties' on your case!

But you maybe OK with German.. let's wait and see.. they are a bit predictable..

At the risk of being labelled 'racist' (language and race being the same of course.. I guess it's 'implied, or 'may be perceived', eh?) then let me try this one.

Nicht Gerfingerpoken!

I believe this loosely translates to, 'don't mess about with the f**king thing'...

You know, it did occur to me before I started the thread, but I thought "NO! surely not". What a sad world we live in.

Well, like Fletch once said to Godber (?) illegitimi non carborundum!

Bugger 'em, mate!

Double Laughing out loud. Very good Bill

I didn't write it; it is an old notice which I vaguely remembered from back in mainframe computer days and I was able to re-find it on the WWW.

Yes, I had seen it before, but many years ago - didn't want to say and wanted to give you credit. Especially considering the trumpet/bugle "problem". :D

And yes, the Web is a wonderful tool. Whistling nnocently

Laughing out loud Impossible not to think of Blackadder when reading it.

If you want to learn Swedish then Ronnie Barker is your man.
