chattius 2,536 Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Schot -> Mast- und Schotbruch Being at a naval air wing I heard this often when starting at heavy seas. A macabre sailor wish and not so positive as 'fair winds and following seas.' A Schot (sheet) is the rope or chain which sets the angle of the sail to the wind. So it is a breaking of the masts and sheets of a ship. Similiar is the saying 'Hals- und Beinbruch' (neck and leg fracture) which is often translated as 'Break a leg'. 1 Link to comment

Hooyaah 2,827 Posted May 11, 2022 Author Share Posted May 11, 2022 Popeye => club When my father was a kid he was a member of the Popeye Club. He would go to the Saturday morning movies at a theater in Houston. He would have a quarter dollar when he got there. He'd buy his ticket and get some popcorn and see Popeye, Our Gang, (The Little Rascals) and other cartoons as well as a feature presentation. During the intermission, prizes would be given away. He'd still have a dime left when it was time to go home. 1 Link to comment
Popular Post chattius 2,536 Posted May 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 11, 2022 Popeye TV should be considered child abuse - forcing kids to eat spinach for the high iron contains (which is proved to be wrong). Popeye wouldn't be allowed to join olympics. Spinach contains Ecdysteroid which is on a doping list at high concentrations. club -> Thüringer Waldziege/ Thuringian (Forest) Goat After recently buying 20 goats (other thread) to turn bushland into grasland I was allowed to join the local sheep and goat breeders club. Oldest club documents are almost 500 years old. It was founded to pay shepherds for the area because the local farms had only a few goats each. The goats were collected at the forest farms and the shepherd was wandering around in search for gras. It's nowadays goal is to keep endangered old farm animal races alive. My 4 sheep around the house to shorten the gras uphill were not enough. I have also a Kuhhund (cow dog), Sperberhühner (sparrowhawk hens), ... A male thuringian goat 1 1 Link to comment

chattius 2,536 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 satyr -> Faun Faun(us) is the roman equivalent to the greek satyr. Faun is also the name of a German band, one the best bands doing medieval music. They mainly perform in German, but there are some songs in other languages. 'Hymn to Pan' is in English, nice music (like most of Faun) to relax while with 200km/h on an Autobahn. My favourite is Federkleid (clothing made from feathers, plumage). The video starts with a red kite. Red kites are breeding 200 metres away from our house and I like to watch them. Over the heather in the next matutinal shine the birds fly. Where could they be tomorrow? I follow the rushs of their wings into the silent moor. Where Ancient songs come through the mists Come and fly with us along Let yourself be taken away from this place Come and fly as high as you could Let us hunt the heaven The wind dances Mist like silk Strikes my skin so cold Forward and forward Where is my longing destiny? I close my eyes and I grow a plumage Again I feel the wind and open my wings wide Come and fly with us along Let yourself be taken away from this place Come and fly as high as you could Let us hunt the heaven The wind dances The heavens in you How can I know them, can I see them? We dance in our flight Like the stars, who follow their path Come and fly with us along Let yourself be taken away from this place Come and fly as high as you could Let us hunt the heaven The wind dances 1 Link to comment
