Shurely shome mishtake."

What mistake?

Which German city did you have in mind as having been around for 'thousands of years' ?

Teutoburgerwaldstadt ?

Arminiusburg ?

He 'berated' them? They sure loved his Beratung

I don't get it. Besides, what's a Beratung?

False friend.

Molly: some German cities are about 2,000 years old. Of course they started as Roman castra and only became cities during the middle ages, but still.

The term is OK, but my family only moved here several years ago. My father's side is from the baltic coast (Mecklenburg to be precise), my mother's side from Saxony. Both my parents studied abroad, an honour in socialist days. Ironically enough, they met during their studies in Poland.

Not to many Germans left in Mecklenburg these days.

Huh, still don't get it.

How could I take someone serious who calls Semmeln Schrippen and a Spritzer Schorle.

Hm, one more innocent question: Do you call Semmelknödel Schrippenklösse?

Beratung - consultation (?)

I am still offended of course

It's neither Semmeln nor Schrippen. My baker round the corner sells it as "Brötla". But that's in occupied Franconia.

And you can very well get a Spritzer of Schorle on your jacket.

I believe Lancer was referring to 'lost' German cities in Poland.

Now I know fer shure the Romans never reached that far in their beneficent scheme of pizza & olive oil sharing.

Now I'm aware of places such as Augusta Treverorum, but exactly when are we supposed to believe its distinctive German identity appeared ?

After the Treaty of Verdun perhaps ? Under Henry the Fowler, vielleicht ?

[Lancer]

I also mentioned 'tilling the ground'. Surely we had managed that over 'thousands of years'? Or were we just living off of wild boars and berries?

My uncle in law in Bavaria was always hunting wild boar. I think he got them all.
