Sorry, I thought that was very funny. I'm going to have to try that out in my German class and see if I can get away with it.

Carry on.

Hi

My first week in Germany, before I'd gotten the in-country briefing, I was a bit stuffed up, so I went looking for some Vicks VapoRub at the PX, which had none. The assistant menti9oned that the drug store in town might have some though.

So, in to Landstuhl, the only town nearby large enough to have a drug store, and in to the drug-store-equivalent.

I asked, "do you have any Vap-O-Rub?"

The gorgeous honey-blond counter shook her head, pointed to herself and said, "no... Englisch."

So I pantomimed it. I rubbed my right hand round my chest and asked, "Vicks? Vicks?"

Ok - that was... ummm... thirty<<mumblesomethingthatsoundslikethree>> years ago, and the hand print her slap left has faded... recently... but I learned an important and indelible lesson:
If you're a soldier in a non-English speaking country,
if the Army can't get it for you, you don't need it.

The FIRST DAY of the in-country briefing, the SECOND TOPIC, was, "do not, under any circumstances, ask for Vicks VapoRub at a German Store! The word, 'vicks,' in German, is short and familiar for, 'do you fornicate!!'"

Experience is by far the best teacher, but it tends to give the test somewhat before the lesson.

You've exposed the fact that my German is limited to early/mid 80s exported German pop!

Curse you!

Ach? Das Deutsche Band, mit a bang, mit a boom, mit a a bing-bang bing-bang boom, ja?

I got one of those stories too. Sitting round the dinner table playing "Die
Siedler von Catan" with the family of my German lady friend, I decided I'd
awe them with my mastery of their dialect ("Pfaelzisch"). I'd learned that
they have a word "foetzl" which means "a bounder", "a cad" (basically
nowadays a light, comic insult). When her very serious dad had foiled one
of my moves in the game I called him this toy insult. Unfortunately in my
excitement instead of "foetzl" I said a word very similar. :blush: German
speakers will know the one I mean, but the censor here asterisks it out.

[Gagglegnash]

Hi

Aha! PELZISH!

Ya sicher!

When you land in an area that's bound and determined to make you pronounce Zwanzig as Zwanzish and Kartoffeln as Grünbern...
you just know something is going to have to give.

I couldn't have put it better myself.

Hi

That was the other one I was thinking of, but couldn't spell...

Nena and her armpits...:)

Corrected it for you :).

I seriously wonder how you spelled Vicks VapoRub since "Wick VapoRub (http://www.wick.de/befreit-von-schnupfen/vaporub/)" is a very famous medizine in Germany, almost everyone should know it due to years of TV-Advertising, especially Drug Stores.

Anyway:

@Rudeboy: Did you watch the series yet?

You surely mean to ask how he pronounced it, and not how he spelled it?

Well, you didn't know that the Vicks brand is called Wick over here, just like pronouncing Wik-ipedia. :)
