    I'm German. I actually visited Auschwitz. Do you know what Auschwitz means? Loosely translated it means "from sweat", or "out of sweat".

    My parents were alive, and living in Germany, during the second world war.

    What kind of project are you doing about concentration camps?

    There aren't any happy stories about those places, but, the history, and the things you can learn from it, are definitely worth your time and effort.

    If you need help translating anything in German, I'm willing to help.

    Poop, or the other word for poop? ;)

    Here's the fun thing about German. Every town has a different dialect. For instance, I was raised to speak high German. Not to sound snobby, but high German is understood by pretty much everyone in Germany, it's the way educated people speak. How to explain this. It's like saying "The two youths went to the bathroom and were accosted by a criminal", instead of saying "The two utes went to the $hitter and some hood jumped em".

    I was raised in a town called Weikersheim, and the German there is very different than the German I learned. For instance, when I visited as a teen my Oma asked me if I wanted a "gukale (spelling is probably wrong because it's not in any German dictionary anywhere)". I was stumped. WTH is a gukale? I asked my mom. Apparently a gukale is an "ei", an egg. Gukale is Weikersheimer Deutsch.

    So, do you want the proper, high falutin way to say poop, or do you want the slangy way to say it? If you want slangy, what dialect?

    See Odinn, ask a simple question, and this is what you get. Bet you're sorry you asked now. ;)

    So I wrote this long explanation for nothing? You little Scheisser! ;)

    Cool, I can swear in German on AMHD.

    Crapadoodle, admitting that it's a swear will probably get me a slap. :(

    It's not often I get to slightly insult someone and get away with it, at least not on this site. I had to take the shot, too good to pass up. :)
