My day was brightened considerably by the email from Atlanta Steve:
OK, my German friend was at the party last night and I made him translate AND spell out what they say at the end of Random Number Generation. He says it's a dialect that he's heard before, but one he's not very familiar with...but he seemed certain he knew the answer to my query. Ok, so translation: Yitzhak, what the fuck(damn) are you doing. He says they're literally saying "what the damn are you doing" but that in German that is the conversational equivalent of "what the fuck are you doing" As far as the literal words that are said, he typed out for me: Yitzhak, was machst Du denn verdammt noch mal. So, if you want to impress your friends by barking along with the CD, that's what you've gotta learn to say. Delicious. |
