Hmmm. There is no German word "frichen". There is "ficken" (ficke, fickte, gefickt - schwache Konjugation), however, "ficken" doesn't mean "to strike" but..., well, you know what it means.

Also, centence? Incompitance? Disatisfaction? Proper English usage? I the fuck don't fucking know what that fuck this fuckerette is about (or ist that "fuckatrix").

He got the 50s American news speaker accent really well, though, in a somewhat like Walter Cronkite kind of way.

In grade school we had to sit through (or got to see) various "educational" films. the announcer here has the educational films announcer voice down pat, I agree.


Then there is the stronger "motherfucker", which also comes from the German "mudder", which means a horse that runs well on a wet track. it is well known that a horse has to eat her fodder to be a good mudder.

Oh yes, absolutely. I forgot. Also, centence is form Latin, centum, a hundred, abecause obviously the typical grammar student has to speak 100 centences to get one right.

There was a cartoon in yesterday's paper. A guy looking at Twitter on his computer, thinking, "Only 140 characters? That is only enough for about two words." And the caption read "why it is so hard to learn German."


It is no "Who's on first", but the mudder fodder bit was a good old Abbott and Costello bit.
