Do you know how Germans call someone who is done for? Someone who can't poop anymore!
I can't figure out the back translation. Please repeat that term in German^^
Er oder sie hat ausgeschissen.
Literally means "has pooped" but has different subtexts depending on the situation, including a sense of finality.
Ja, stimmt, ausgeschissen macht Sinn. Bin ich nicht drauf gekommen^^
Yeah, true, ausgeschissen works. Just didn't get it.
But it's kinda a double-meaning preposition. Aus- can mean out (as in move shit out of your body) but also to do something to it's end. E.g. ausgeschalten, where it means to switch off.
