I wasn't gifted, I was undiagnosed.

@RickiTarr
Gift in german means poison.

I'll just leave that here.

@t_robinart @RickiTarr Pickle in German means pimple

@rrb @t_robinart @RickiTarr

'don't put a gift pickle in your mouth' as the old saying goes.

@saltywizard @rrb @t_robinart @RickiTarr

'don't put a gift pickle in your mouth' is my new life motto.

@Burn_this_ @saltywizard @t_robinart @RickiTarr To be honest, I gave my German wife the nickname "Gift Pickle"

@RickiTarr I always like watching the Ignobel award ceremony. Each year, it is sponsored by the local Mensa chapter. They are announced as "people with abnormal scores on a psychological test."

@RickiTarr @rrb @t_robinart What is Mist?

[rrb@infosec.exchange]

@lori @RickiTarr @t_robinart Do you mean this:

Sierra Mist - Wikipedia

(en.wikipedia.org)

@lori @RickiTarr @t_robinart Friend of mine told me about studying Macbeth in their English class in Munich. Lots of giggles came up when they talked about the soldiers marching through the mist.

@lori @RickiTarr @rrb
Lot of opportunities. But in german it's just Dung.

[rrb@infosec.exchange]

@t_robinart @lori @RickiTarr You severely underestimate German. It has a range of terms for fecal matter that far surpasses English, With many finer details: Jauche, Mist, Scheisse, Tierkot, Kacke, Duenge, Gruenduenge, Guelle, Mistamsel, ...

Kind of like Eskimo words for snow.

[lori@cambrian.social]

@RickiTarr @rrb @t_robinart Gruenduenge? I'm trying to picture it.

In western hemisphere we say Inuit not Eskimo.

[rrb@infosec.exchange]

@lori @RickiTarr @t_robinart now. Not when people like me learned to speak. In fact, I was not aware that some find the term Eskimo offensive until I researched this reply.

Speak a language all your life and still ignorant.
