Hmmm... What's the best thing to use to get Dr. Pepper off your monitor?
Ah, no... not exactly. Allow me:Quote:

I was just poking fun at my mistake, and responding in a language other than English (another attempt at humor based on tailchaser's observation that English might not be a language I'm familiar with). It was a joke, not an attack. No hard feelings... it was my mistake. In the future, I promise (1) not to try to define nooB [particularly when nobody asked me to in the first place], and (2) post anything in German :lol: .
And as long as that Dr. Pepper didn't get under the keys of your keyboard, a towel and some warm water ought to get that DP off of your monitor :wink:
So how does babelfish (or whatever translator you used) get "sitting chap" out of "cheap bastard"? I'll bet there's an interesting story behind that... :mrgreen:

Ummm... if you read carefully, I don't think the chap in question was sitting...Quote:

YOU GUYS HAVE WAY TOO MUCH FREE TIME ON YOUR HANDS :shock:
Babelfish -- like nearly all translation software -- translates words literally. "Scheiß" (or more correctly Scheißen) would translate directly to "sh***ing". "Kerl" is "chap" or "bloke". Combine them and you get "sh***ing chap"... but in this case the sum of the two parts is not equal to the whole! I was just playing off sammm's self-proclaimed moniker. :tongue:Quote:

TMI, I know... :lol:
I'll take your word for it. My german's a lil rusty.

I thought Babelfish sounded familiar.
So whats the meaning of life? (just adding to thread drift)
