Frackin' Friday

Oh Happy Friday!

And a happy Frackin' Friday at that!

So, there is no trick or joke in honor of April Fool's day, but I did figure I would give you a really good German cuss word on this day.

I am not foolin' around with this one (see, see what I did there. Comic gold.)

I'll give you a little background for this naughty word. I am a big fan of funny movies (most rom-coms make me want to barf, but I will safe that for a whole 'nother post).

One movie that I find funny every time I watch is Beerfest. If you haven't seen this gem, it is by the Broken Lizard group, the same guys that did Super Troopers. I love them, but I don't know if they are for everyone.

Yeah, I basically have a guy's taste in movies (source)

Here is a super quick synopsis about the movie:
"Two guys used to drinking beer for fun suddenly become fierce competitors in a sort of Lager Olympics in this over-the-top comedy."

Ok, so it didn't win any Academy awards or anything, but I still love it. Its raunchy and funny, and gets funnier the more German we learn.

Which is where the basis for today's word comes from. One of the characters in the film has a pretty naughty name. Although I'm sure that 99% of the people watching the movie didn't catch it. It is quick, and of course, in German.

Pictured above is Herr Schniedelwichsen. 

Pronounced "Sh-needle-vixen"

Sounds innocent enough, like just another typical German last name, right. Wrooong.

To put it in the most polite terms that I can, his name basically means "Jag off" yeah, I said 'jag', it sounded a little better in my mind. 

(I feel like I am embarrassing my German readers, sorry!)

I had already knew that wichsen meant to pleasure oneself - see I have a delicate way of putting these things! - and that was thanks to one of my blogging besties over at Travel Babbles. 

But Schniedel was new to me, but it doesn't take a scientist to realize just what part of the male anatomy they are talking about.

I hope you stopped reading a while back, Mom and Dad! Haha

So the clever writers slipped that one in and I am sure had a quiet little inside-joke chuckle about it. Now, if you do watch the movie, you can be in on the joke too!

Or, even better, you can express your anger with those Schniedelwichsens out there without them having a clue! (Although you might have already called them a Scheiße Verlierer or a Zicke, so they might be on to you! :))

On another real quick note, I want to thank all of ya'll who voted for me for blog of the month over at FTLOB. The support was tremendous, and ya'll are so awesome. Thank you times a million!

Have a great Friday. And when someone plays an April Fools joke on you, drop a Schniedelwichsen or two on them! haha.
