  1. Hi Miss-Verständnis,
    nice entertaining blog you have…I cannot resist…here are my ideas:

    OMG = Oh mein Gott (THE SAME!!) :)

    LOL could be ‘lachen ohne luftzuholen’ oder ILMT = Ich lach mich tot oder IBZ = Ich brech’ zusammen :D

    BDD = Bis denne dann or
    (T)DWE = (Tschüssi)Das wars erstmal

    Not so nice but I guess most is: LMAA = Leck mich am Arsch

    :)))

  5. This is too funny. I love it when you say “uhh Germ-[ins]”

    I love the acronyms GP (good point) and S(TF)U (shut the fuck up)
    You should have also mentioned that whenever you add an “F” it kind of trumps the non-F version, doesn’t it? Same with H for Holy.

    OMFG, WTHF, STFU

  6. ever heard of: “schlustig” .. which is “Schluss mit Lustig”

    not sure if there is much more like that but it may become another topic ;)

    I just stumbled accross your videos, searching for something on kiwi accent, since I recently heard a scientific talk and it was a) first time for me to hear kiwi b) really difficult to “match” with my memorized English. So thank you for this entertaining Video

    oh.. actually another thing. I did wonder (being now since 2 months in CA) why people in English often pronounce “strong” like: “schtrong”… When I learned English, I was teached to separate s and t and not to make a new ‘whatsoever’ off it.

    oohh.. another input: people here say “Gesundheit” instead of “bless you”. I was perplex than I heard this 3 weeks ago ;)

    (mhm.. sorry for writing that much, I guess I am now subscribing to your rss feed)

    WIMRE - wenn ich mich recht erinnere [~IIRC]
    LG - liebe Grüße
    HDL - hab dich lieb
    DAU - dümmster anzunehmender User
    MMN - meiner Meinung nach
    KA - keine Ahnung
