Quoth Babelfish :lol:

Try correct German spelling for a change! It's lässig, not lässisch. That is only said by uneducated Berlin proles like me.

Simple: The adverbial translation is wrong; "vertical" makes as much sense as "shiny" or "cool" or anything people will use to express something positive. It's the way people speak.

If it doesn't make sense to you, you have to make sense of it...

Then, basically, you were saying "we're all cool, girl!"

Very good, then. "Shiny" is one of my favorite adjectives, after watching Firefly and Serenity.

Why of course, that goes without saying. "Senkrecht" porbably was cool a few years before I became old enough to find anything cool, so if anyone wants to build aup a cool German vocabulary, you better not include it.
