Drink beer and eat your sausages
Is that what I said?

Oops... I meant to say "have a nice day".


Quote:
perhaps there is a hidden metaphorical meaning behind this sentiment?
Indeed, there is. You should spend a couple of hours thinking about it. By then you'll be hungry and thirsty enough to "drink beer and eat your sausages" and the meaning will suddenly become clear.

from the barock(is it called barock in english, too?)
Baroque.
Quote:
so there are people here who speak german pretty good
Only "pretty good"? What, did I get a word wrong? The only words I for sure get right are cognates, like and (und), shoe (schuh), pizza (pizza), or Germany (Deutschland).

Or did I not conjugate one of my verbs correctly? That's always a problem. I don't even conjugate English correctly. English be hard- I is frustrated by it sometimes.

But it's understandable since I was raised in Mexico by Latinos, who obviously being latinos spoke Spanish (aka Latin). That was a problem though since most people in Mexico speak Mexican (which the Spanish haughtily refer to as pig-latin).
Quote:
Do people in America(or England or whereever) really think all germans are beerdrinkers?
No, we think 99.9% of Germans are beer drinkers. All the exchange students I ever met sure talked about it all the time.
Quote:
I'd love to her some other prejudices about us Germans
Lemme see... Germans are always taking their clothes off, right? Or more specifically, their lederhosen?

Also, they don't keep their fridges full, but prefer to buy what they're going to eat (usually bratwurst and sauerkraut) on the same day.

And then they go play soccer.



(I know everybody's not like that, but those are the first things that pop into my head)
