Are German nipples the worst?

[Crackerofdoom]

I just learned the word for nipples in German is Brustwarzen

The literal translation is "breast warts"

Is this the worst direct translation or are there more out there?

No, but they do refer to tesitcles as soft-boiled eggs.

German is so funny for it's literal translations. The contraceptive pill translates as 'anti baby pill'

Vagina is literally sheath (as in, for a sword). Must be confusing if you come from somewhere that calls condoms sheaths.

@Puffinshop that's even better! although I am getting flash backs to those massive lights they shine on your foof if you're in stirrups having forceps!

Slug is Nacktschnecke- Naked snail!

zhivortnoye

No no no!

Zhivot/живот is tummy, but Zhivoy/живой is something living, so Zhivotnоye/животное is a live creature. Not a tummy! Njet!

This is a stupendous thread!! Breast warts!

this is possibly the best thread ever blatant placemark

Kummerspec is the German word for the excess fat gained during emotional over-eating when stressed or upset etc.

So quite literally... grief bacon

Thanks, this is the best.

Zhivot/живот is tummy, but Zhivoy/живой is something living, so Zhivotnоye/животное is a live creature. Not a tummy! Njet!

I think it's cheating to use different alphabets ...

Kümmerspeck might be my favourite German word.

It's always hilarious to laugh at foreigners and their daft words.

I'm glad we could vote for that, even by accident!

I just giggled to myself, I don't think I had as much as smile for days so thank OP!

@DoIHaveToAdultToday I love Spunk. Whenever anyone mentions they are going to Denmark I ask them to bring me back some Spunk

Oops I dropped the k...thanks for a much better attempt @ChardonnaysPetDragon!

It's always hilarious to laugh at foreigners and their daft words.

And then steal them ...

Aber gern!

Chardonnay i like little tummies more though!

I call my cats 'the little tummies'.

I think it was Bill Bryson (or possibly Terry Pratchett) who described English as a language which waited down an alley with a sock full of wet sand, ready to mug other languages and steal their words.

Pratchett I think.

Sorry!

They would be животики.

But all circumstances considered I'll let you off with the tummies.

I have definitely gained some kuumerspec, but in my case I think its more cheese than bacon!

My favourite literal translations are French
Papillon de nuit - night butterfly (moth)
Citron vert - green lemon ( lime)!
