*is shocked too*  :o :o
MARY POPPINS!!!! Go watch it now!

About that book by Ende, sounds very good. Which does not surprise me, he writes well (and I only read Spanish translations, so he probably is better in the original). I loved Momo, one of my favorite books ever.

OK. One Bavarian one I do have now, because I like it so much, though I don't really use it. It was a Bavarian comedian who said that in one of his shows. I'm going to translate it. It's kind of funny. It's what the father of a tennis playing boy tells the mother of his son's opponent. The name calling is getting more and more intense.

This sounds like something here we call "Farsh el melaya" where a woman lays into another woman or a man with the most inventive curses you've ever seen. Literally translates as "Spreading the bed sheets". Had a laugh with my friends about it :D
Ok, part II:
A note: "Ibn el" means son of the, "bent el" means: daughter of the. Adding them before any specific insult escalates matters into cursing parents :P

That's all for now, enjoy :P

Hey there. Sorry, it took me so long. I got caught up in some silly game on my cellphone lately, was listening to James Marsters reading DF and couldn't stop, even got audible flatrate because of the damned addiction causing books (even if you've read them several times already) and started reading the new Aaronovitch.

Mm, the last one sounds conceptually similar to the English

As I mentioned before, I loved Momo, the Ende book.

Yes. Maybe it's a generation thing. I would say

, but I'm turning 40 this year. LOL The younger ones use words that mean different things to people my age and again have different meanings to older people.
But
(click to show/hide)
don't really make sense in this context. Except it is a new form of calling someone who does
(click to show/hide)

And yes: Momo is a great book. Like that, too.
And OK, I will try to watch Mary Poppins. I never wanted to, because of all the singing. It was too much for me. I usually don't like it.

That surprises me. As you sing yourself I thought you would like musicals, but I guess I am wrong. Julie Andrews is a great singer and personally I think those songs are beautiful, but I understand is not for everyone. Still, I suggest you try...you may be surprised.

Thanks for the clarification Regen, but the guy is at least 50 years old. Closer to 60 I'd imagine. Maybe he thinks all of us 30 and 40 year olds are kids? :O

Hmm, maybe just ask him very innocently, what he means. ;D
Maybe he's just a bit weird. ;D
