grandmaster Li zhengfu李正府 and 颜紫元DrStephenYan's six harmony

The following typical threads that plague martial arts sites will get moved here if not just deleted: 1 - My style is better than Your style" - 2 - "Internal & External" - 3 - Personal attacks - 4 - Threads that start well, but degenerate into a spiral of nonsense.

Actually we say "Die dümmsten Bauern ernten die dicksten Kartoffeln." Otherwise nobody would understand you in Germany. ;D

Andy,
the only one, that is still frequently used, is the last phrase. For instance, I often say it out loud after reading one of your postings.
SNIP

For some reason which I cannot understand, I tend to generate the same reaction from a lot of people...people whose nationalities are not restricted to monocle und lederhosen wearers.

BTW, those are some damned fine potatoes you Germans have over there. Distant memory suggests to me that the German word for spud is "busen"? Am I right?

I don't recall Goethe or Schiller ever having written "achtung, Englischer schweinhund!", "donner und blitzen!!" and similar literary gems. Perhaps I went to the wrong school.
Are such Teutonic phrases no longer current? And do any of you fellows have a monocle?

I don't think the good Europeans of modern Germany approve of our sense of humour. Unfortunately I had to sell my monocle to buy rations.

Yes, yes, those phrases also resound! Not Goethe, you say? Hmmm, where could I possibly have encountered them?

Martin and Qiphlow:

Outstanding set of spuds on the weather girl. In a movement of vegetal empathy, my trouser turnip is responding.

What I personally don't approve, is how English speaking folks often don't care the least to be accurate when it comes to foreign languages. I have even watched movies like Die Hard or TV-series like Scrubs in English and the "native" Germans were basically talking gibberish :-\

In the interest of our mutual cultural exchange, I have prepared some phrases for you as well:
For Andy: "TeetYme, TeetymE", "Got safe the kwEEn"
For Lazyboxer: "ok, ok, CunnsTeetooshn, alwrite?"
;)

Then you will like "Klappstuhl". :)

A Turkish-German comedian recently said about the modern Germans, that they are way too tolerant in order to get rid of the old Nazi cliché.

Something more political:
