Popular Post chattius 2,531 Posted April 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 25, 2023 palm reader -> dean Around 130 years ago my old university had a dean who was married. Aftter he left Giessen for Würzburg he told his wife to sit down for an hour while watching her hand. It resulted in the best known photography of a woman hand ever. The dean was Conrad Röntgen. He called his find x-ray. In german speaking countries it is called Röntgenstrahlung. And if a x-ray is done of a body we call the verb 'röntgen'. Modern palm reading I think. Surgery (Chirurgie) and palm reading (chirology), the words are close together... And there is a crime story: the ring was stolen when it was hand away for dna-analysis. 1 1 Link to comment

I have not seen the movie. I am in two minds about it. I like the original british TV series version of it. It's a must see watch, it's very different from the movie. Link to comment

chattius 2,531 Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 wealthy -> Rumpelstiltskin In the fairietale a daughter of a miller way said to be able to weave hay/stray into gold. Geld wie Heu haben / to have money like hay is a german saying translating as to have money to burn. A quote that is often true: It is often feeled as unfair when people who have only stray in their heads also have money like hay. „Man empfindet es oft als ungerecht, dass Menschen, die Stroh im Kopf haben, auch noch Geld wie Heu besitzen.“ (Gerhard Uhlenbruck) 1 Link to comment

Popular Post chattius 2,531 Posted April 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 28, 2023 frypan -> wrought iron My family were wood workers, I studied maths, working with metal at work I did a quick learning at some smiths. I am proud of my selfmade damast chef knife and my wrought iron pan. I hope they hold a lifetime and more. The smith I learned was one of the few non japanese who was allowed to name his katanas original. He did also close to original viking swords. But the grip of my knife is really really better than his --- tradition of wood workers 1 1 Link to comment

chattius 2,531 Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 80's -> Neue Deutsche Welle Begin of the 80ties cheap synthesizers allowed bands to experiment with electronic music. Many german bands were going away from singing english but in german to bring emotions better to listeners. NDW would translate as german new wave and had bands like Trio, Nena, DÖF, Peter Schilling, .. For me as someone who had never english at school it was a nice change and just in time when I visited a dancing school for school ball. This was first a NDW song, see second video Link to comment

chattius 2,531 Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 egg -> nest-egg Once we had to keep our hens in the barn while quarantine because of bird-flu in the district. They were laying their eggs everywhere so we started to use nest-eggs, And no, in German Nestei/nest-egg hasn't the second meaning in money business. Many uses: making a location the hens should lay their eggs or birth control: exchange some real eggs with nest-eggs to have less chicks or stop egg picking: some hens lay eggs into a nest not their own. they have the bad habit to pick into eggs already in the nest to better spread their own genes. They stop aftersome tries with hard nest-eggs. or ... Living in a town must be so much easier. 1 Link to comment
