I'm rather a fan of how Meat is constantly giving Lira grief for his flaky ways, yet the conversation between the two is incoherent to all but them. What is a Para Para? How does one Euro Dance? How many comics must you illustrate about another person before it's officially considered a marriage proposal?

So many questions!

No, a word for being more productive when listening to Happy Hardcore. Something like "Himmelkreuzdonnerwetterhypermuziklassmichallthisgoddamnstuffmachen"?

Also, yes.

"Zappelphilipp der bei akustischer Vergewaltigung gschaftlhubert wie Schmidts Katze"

And this is the better version:



Somewhere I also have a mash of the original with Ame - Rej lying around.

I think of Lira as something like my evil twin brother. I wouldn't be surprised if in a twist ending we turn out to be one schizophrenic person. He, of course, is the dark side.

Yeah, that's the one I wanted, cheers

OMG, I remember this version! I once heard it on the radio when I was, like 12 or something, and I wanted it so bad but completely forgot all about it after a while. Thanks for reminding me

Hmmm... I had something similar with Juanita (Arbiter). She's the sour hyper-rational twin and I'm the warm emo-humanist twin... we're triplets then?

What does that makes us? The hippy, the bad, and the happy?

Do you actually understand any of it? I guees most of it would be hard to find in a dictionary.

I just bought the Wahrig Wörterbuch der deutschen Sprache a couple of hours ago (70% off!)... and Google Translate renders that as "Fidget with the acoustic rape busybody like Schmidt's Cat", which is already amusing enough

ps.: Ich verstehe ein bisschen Deutsch. Hast du schon vergessen?

Zappelphilipp: Reference to a well known story of that title about a hyperactive kid. From the verb zappeln.
gschaftlhubern: Bavarian slang for pretending to be very busy. Surprised google translate could do something with that.
Schmidts Katze: from "abgehen wie Schmidts Katze" for doing something with a lot of enthusiasm.

Oh, I assumed it was an actual name. Like Frank Zappel

Want yet another surprise? Dict.Leo got that as well, actually. It was the one that really puzzled me, to be fair... so I assumed the final "n" was what made that into a verb and went from that. That's it, right?

Ooooohh... so my understanding really was way off the mark. I thought the cats were being somehow raped because of the "Vergewaltigung"

wut? "acoustic rape" is a way to describe loud, fast and energetic music. Like this:

Oh, that's why I didn't understand what the cats were doing... and somehow I thought that meant I'd have a lot of explaining to do to the vet

It all makes sense now

Sweet Jesus, Lira. This thread is practically begging for you but I guess you're just too good for informal linguistic anthropology!
