0815 (Nullachtfunfzehn)
0815 (Nullachtfunfzehn)
Posted by: FnordiusRating:0.3  
Boring, common, unoriginal, monotonous. Originally soldier slang (0815 was a common machine gun used in World War I, and soldiers were drilled in the same lesson over and over again.)
It is not nullachtfünfzehn, it must be nullachtFUFFzehn, because it is just used in slang and not in the high language [Comment by: Michi    ]
Would someone mind translating the following German comments into English for me? I would greatly appreciate it! :) 1. das seht ihr aber gefährlich aus, da kriege ich ja angst 2. haha, der James mit der Hanna :) was n lustiges Bild:) wo isn das entstanden? FF06?? 3. schnieker ring, schnieke titten und schnieke kotelletten!! [Comment by: Natalie    ]
Natalie: "1.you look that dangerous there that i am already frightened 2.haha, james and hanna. whadda funny pic. where's that been taken at? ff06?? 3.cool ring, cool tits and cool sideburns!!" [Comment by: kraut    ]
0815: the explanation is not quite right. It was a gun. The very standard gun developed in 1908. Every soldier had it. Later (1915) that gun was reworked and enhanced. The name vor that gun was 0815 by then. But it was still the standard gun. As it was something very common and nothing special Germans began to use that expression to describe boring "standard"- things. [Comment by: Dann    ]
i reckon it should have more detail so yh!!!!!!! luv ya not [Comment by: rachel    Rated:2/5 ]
The 0815 was a notoriously poorly performing machinegun, which was prone to jamming. Often the term "0815" was used to describe something that simply didn't work, and usually at the worst possible moment. [Comment by: John    ]
I know, wrong place to ask this, but has anyone ever heard of the phrase, "Ich hab ne KaWa MiPi"? [Comment by: Alex    ]

"skooly" and "smalzig" are not even german. yiddish, maybe? [Comment by: kraut    ]
it's 'Yiddish' hence the topic of slang, if you're German you would have heard slang in some vocabulary...not necessarily a German derivative. [Comment by: Kraut2    ]

"Hey, arse! You're smelling like crap of cows!" #1: to say he/she is a ugly guy #2: to dislike somebody/something
That must be "Ach Arschloch, du stinkst voll scheiße" in real German. [Comment by: Henry    Rated:1/5 ]
"Ach Arschloch, du stinkst wie Kuhscheisse" -> AW, Asshole, you smell like cow crap [Comment by: Culexus    ]

Alda / Alta (Alter), Keule

"Dude", personal pronoun (you; familar)
Hey dude!
It's a deliberately wrong version of "Alter" (meaning "old one") which is a short form of "old friend". "Alda" started as german hip-hop slang. [Comment by: b_i_d    ]
further words with same meaning: Kumpel (antiquated),Kollege, Dicker(Diggae)(means "fat guy" actually [Comment by: Jung    ]
he's right [Comment by: andy    ]
Well I thought Dicker came from like "dicke freunde sein" (to be good/close friends), so he would be my "dicker freund" [Comment by: Lutz    ]

Arsch, Arschloch, am Arsch lecken
DE
Posted by: rossi
ass, arse, asshole, lick my ass 'Arsch' is especially in combination one of the most used german profanities. Examples would be Arschloch 'asshole', Arschgesicht 'ass-face', Arsch mit Ohren 'eared ass', am Arsch lecken 'lick ma ass' (notice the difference to eng. kiss my ass). Heritage perhaps indogermanic arso-s, protruding part of body.
After spending several years in Germany, I thought I was up on the slang words. I, however, ran across "Knackarsch" the other day. I know what the separate sections mean but combined I am lost. [Comment by: kycol    ]

Abbreviation of "asocial". A chronic loser, often without a job or receiving welfare. Someobdy who doesn't care about social mores.
Further words with same meaning: Penner, Stinker Friendly or lovely: Schlumpf ( old famous european Comic) "Die kleinen, blauen Schluempfe" Means: tiny little blue-colored goblins, living in toadstoolhouses. [Comment by: Jung    ]
The Smurfs, in English. [Comment by: smurflover    ]
It's actually spelled wrong. It's called assi with two 's' and it's the short form for assozial (asocial). Punks often call themselves Assis. XD [Comment by: Drowning    ]
Asi ist eine Abkürzung für asozial, was im Englischen nennen wir ,,white trash". [Comment by: RobertW    ]

I'm a German, and you wouldn't really use Fischkopf, and Arschkeks??? What is that supposed to be? [Comment by: Julia    ]
Actually, they do exist in german... 'Fischkopf' is a moderate term of abuse used on people from northern germany (e.g. 'Die Fischköppe' - 'Köppe' = plural/dialect for Kopf). As for 'Arschkeks', well i've heard it a few times but i guess it's not used that frequently (for the record: yes, i'm german) [Comment by: A    ]
Asshole=Arschloch; Arse=Arsch; Ass=Arsch; Motherf*cker=Mutterficker and the worst german insult is Hurensohn=Son of a bitch [Comment by: Thomas    ]

A person or thing like an idea. Means literally 'scrubbed'. Slight profanity, but not much. Heritage is unclear, possibly from 'scrubbed until nothing left'.

I thought it was used in a similar context as 'retarded' eg. "That movie was totally retarded"... dunno... Does anyone have a clearer definition? [Comment by: Brokenstreetlite    ]
Further words with same meaning: bekloppt, "der hat ein an`ne Waffel", "sprung in`ne Schüssel" means: He`s crazy/freaky more rough: "Der hat den Schuss nich mehr gehoert" means: so much mad that he becomes stupid [Comment by: Jung    ]

Bumsen
knallen
Rating:1.4  
making love, "bang"
'Knallen' wäre sehr ungewöhnlich. 'Bumsen' ist wesentlich verbreiteter. [Comment by: Rossi    ]
es ist Gut [Comment by: Giovannii Bach    Rated:4/5 ]
"Bumsen" does indeed mean "to bang" but it carries two connotations: one meaning merely to bang or bump into something or someone, and the other meaning "to bang" (sexual connotation), i.e., "to f*ck," just as "to bang" is used in English--to mean both things. "Ficken" is the obvious cognate of the English "to f*ck." I remember with amusement my days as a student in Germany partlly because in those days, there were round bumper stickers or window stickers that said "Ficken, Fressen, Fernsehen." It says a good deal about my "mind" that I remember *that.* Schoenen Tag noch! Richard. [Comment by: Richard    Rated:3/5 ]
I am German and knallen is very common. Bumsen on the other hand is very old-fashioned. It was used in the 80's. Nobody ever uses it anymore. Today you'd say vögeln or knallen. Ficken too but ficken is a lot more "degrading" (degrading sex) [Comment by: Paula    Rated:3/5 ]
how would you say "f*ck my life" or something like it? haha its something i say quite frequently in english and i was wondering if there was an equivalent in German [Comment by: Aymee    ]
fick mein leben [Comment by: K    ]
@richard: ficken,fressen,fernsehen was an ad for a blog, where the the authors discussed the social consequences of stupid tv entertainment. an aquivalent was: werben,wichsen,web2.0. the topic was similar, but focussed on the value of internet (which is for porn - wichsen = male masturbation) and the internet as a stage for useless advertisement. i promoted postcards with these slogans ;-) [Comment by: johannes    ]

"Geil" is the slang equivilent to cool in german... [Comment by: jessii    ]
In my five years of German classes I've learned that Germans use "kuhl" to mean "a little cold", but they use "cool" (just like the english word, with that spelling and everything) to describe something that is neat, awesome, interesting, etc. [Comment by: Tyler    ]
a little cold is kühl hahaha but cool is kool in german [Comment by: deutsche    ]
