im Wolkenkuckucksheim leben
literally: to live in cloud cuckoo land
to have completely wrong ideas, to lose oneself in fantasies
Origin: Greek poet Aristophanes described a bird nation above the clouds in his comedy “The Birds,” for which German translator Ludwig Seeger created this word.
i’m so sad english has no word immediately equivalent to “bürzel” because it really improves the german duck experience
it basically means “bird butt” and i think it should be clear that phrases like “i’m gonna freeze my bird butt off” are vastly superior to, idk, “i’m gonna freeze my tailfeathers off”
i JUST thought of another cute german bird term but i’m less sure about whether it exists in english? SCHNÄBELN. means bird kisses.
unlike “bürzel”, it’s criminally underused in duck content. probably because bird kisses in general are criminally underused compared to anthropomorphised kisses. let them nuzzle their beaks together. let them.

Many know that schadenfreude and doppelgänger come from the German language, but here are ten words that you never realized have German roots.
Senti… ho provato a scrivere tutto quello che c’è tra me e te, tutto quello che penso, che provo, che sento, che spero, che giuro, che voglio, che imbroglio, che credo di aver capito, che so di non aver capito e che comunque che. Poi ho tolto tutto quello che non è essenziale, tutto quello che fa paura, tutto quello che non è sincero, tutto quello che non è vero, tutto quello che non importa, tutto quello che non conta, tutto quello che può essere frainteso, conteso, mistificato, dimenticato, perso: insomma tutto quello che. Alla fine è rimasto questo: Sono felice quando sei felice, sono triste quando sei triste. E quando non ci sei mi manchi. Un bacio (indecente) (naturalmente).

CURSING IN GERMAN
This was requested here (I’m so late, I’m sorry). This list is meant mainly to inform, I don’t mean to offend anybody. I’m not translating racial slurs. Some words would be considered slut shaming but these words are very common and I’m simply translating them so you know what they mean if someone calls you that. Obviously, this whole post is heavy in profanity. Please don’t blurt these out on the streets, none of them are family friendly. I’ll make a post on family friendly insults soon.
der Fluch - curse
fluchen - to curse
das Schimpfwort - curse word
die Obszönität - profanity
Curse words:
Scheiße! - Shit!
scheiß - shitty (adj.)
Dreck - dirt (used like shit, less common)
Drecks-(noun) - fucking (noun) (lit. dirt-(noun), often used if something doesn’t work the way it should or when speaking about a group of people, e.g. Dreckskinder )
Scheißdreck! - Shit/Fuck! (often refers to an object that doesn’t work the way it should, but can be used generally as well)
ficken - to fuck
Fick dich! - Fuck you!
verfickt - fucking (adj.)
(gott-)verdammt - (god) damn
Verpiss dich! - Fuck/Piss off!
We also like to bury the English ‘fuck’, though most Germans butcher the pronunciation and pronounce it more like ‘fack’. Like we do with other loanwords from English, we also germanify it into ‘abgefuckt’ which just means ‘fucked up’.
Insults:
der Arsch - ass
das Arschloch - asshole
der Wichser - wanker
der Ficker - fucker
der Hurensohn - son of a whore
die Schlampe - slut
die Hure - whore
die Zicke - bitch
der Schweinehund - bastard (lit.: swine-dog)
der Bastard - bastard
der Dreckskerl - scumbag (male)
Some hp kids with their patronuses I got commissioned to draw a while ago by a lovely person who wanted to stay anonymous. Thank you so much, I had a blast drawing these!
