What the hell happened last night?

[–] S_H_K@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Some lemmier said "I need to learn german" in a meme many pointed out they make dank memes (me included). Now seems german people gone "hold my boot we gotta deliver (please use both hands it's big)".
And here we are.

I see that. I usually block out other language instances, but I keep those whacky Germans around in the hopes I can absorb their dankness through some sort of text-based osmosis

To fish is angeln, Anglo Saxon is angelsachsen, and German memes get passed through the translation process a little too much

I'm still trying to figure this out too. Search engines are no help.

Anglo Saxon => Angelsachsen => Ageln (to fish) + Sachsen (Saxons) => Fishersaxons

[–] Deconceptualist@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Okay, that's pretty funny. Doesn't German have the verb "fischen"? At least in English, angling is a specific type of fishing with a hook and line (as opposed to e.g. spears or nets).

[–] Peter_Arbeitslos@feddit.org 3 points 2 months ago

Jup, fischen is hunting for fish in general and angeln is fishing with a fishing rod.
