Paul Fitzpatrick: May 2024 It would appear that the Germans have a word for everything – whilst we’d say that someone is ‘reveling in another person’s misery‘, they’d simply call it schadenfreude, the literal translation being harm-joy.When we say that a person has ‘put on a bit of weight due to comfort eating’ our German cousins call it kummerspeck, which literally translated means…

Kummerspeck

Jedes Kind reagiert anders auf Veränderung. Auch wenn Nichte 2.0 auf einen oberflächlichen Blick den Umzug mit allen Herausforderungen gut weggesteckt hat, im Kindergarten und in der neuen Umgebung angekommen ist … sie vermisst auch so vieles.

FR!!!!!! ENGLISCH IST SO UNGENAU. DAS IST NICH DASSELBE!!!!!!!!! DAS IST WAS GANZ GANZ ANDERES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Actually, it is explainable since I'm wearing one atm bcs I'm sweating and keeping my hair from heating up my forehead MORE (which'd produce more sweat) and also my hair is pretty greasy since I haven't come around to shower yet so yeah)

which comes from a very old inside joke I had growing up. But i’m sure you can tell why i didn’t shorten it to the first half…
