Welcome to the wild world of literal translations that make no sense.

Oh wait, that's not how you translate.

My German teacher showed a lot of Blumchen in our class. Classic example....

And then started my ultimate obsession with going to Germany to marry her. lol Granted, it'll never happen, but if I were to meet her, that'd still be "die spitze". :3

How many of you people took German and how many assume they know what they're talking about? =p Things never translate so clean between languages. It's not so clean. Plus you have to figure in conjugations, tense, grammar....all of which can easily make a word like Panzer mean "Super intercontinental death monkey missile". (obviously not the word, but good enough example)

Actually, German is like my second mother language, I'm living in Switzerland.
