I found this and i thought it was pretty funny and wanted to sare it with you, since it really is accurate..... *cough* http://venturevillage.eu/how-to-be-german-part-1#
You will NOT believe the flak we get from The Wizard of Oz over here. When I went to Alaska... *shudders* I despise the Oz stereotype. Every time I hear it, I want to punt a kitten.
Schlumperklamotten? Never heard that one before xD Only made it to point 5 yet, and so far it`s good. Of course, a little too much over the top, but hey. By the way, it`s spelled "Lederhose(n)" ("n" if plural), but it sounds kinda funny if you say your spelling-guess out loud Continuing reading now, thanks for posting! Greetings
Ooooh okay. Never thought about that Thats more the Bavarian way ^^ You know germany and Bavaria are like the USA and Texas.... I also never heard of Schlumperklamotten before i know them as "Schlabberklamotten" But i also can be Singular "Lederhosn" in Bavarian, i think thats what he meant... ^.^ It is a little over the top but it made me laugh a lot, since he has a point... the long breakfast feasts and all that organising.... it IS the truth mostly ^.^
Yeah, especially the organising-part. Somehow I was able to see something like a reflection of me in this part of the article... Strange... Anyways. As for the Lederhosn: Seems like I keep forgetting that some Bavarians follow their own rules in spelling (and talking), I guess you know what I mean^^ Greetings
The only inaccurate part is the insurance. I know a German who only has insurance on what is required to have insurance on, and only insures the things he can't pay for in cash if it needs to be replaced (i.e. home insurance) ...But that might just be because American insurance is expensive.
Yeah.... ometimes i really love to organize stuff too! Sometimes... most of the times im more a pinkie pie type doing whatever i just want at the moment Yeaaah... Bavarian is not that easy But i was born and raised here, so if i want i can talk in bavarian ^^ Oh... the normal german living in germany has a lot of insureances... that part is true... Theres te home insurance, the insurance for the stuff you have at home (pcs etc.), an insurance if lightning strikes the house, some have a life insurance, theres an insurance if you cant work anymore because of illnesses... and there are health care insurances you can have too.... ^^ And normally you have insurances for your car.
Insure all the things! But the good thing is: I could bet every nation has it`s own little "thing". So, we are not alone! And that`s a good thing, right..? Why of course it is! I guess... Anyways. Enough offtopic. I just wanted to make this terrible joke in the first line, and now I`m writing this. Well, time to waste the last hours of this sunday now, see y`all around! Greetings
