The country of stubborn boomers that want to have their cake and eat it
March licks eggs.
Sure he does but it’s weird to use this homoerotic image as something bad. This is me being a bit annoying, but it irks me since I’ve heard the phrase for the first time
That’s assuming you know that Germans use eggs to mean testicles. I only learned this trying to joke with a German colleague that the red headed guy in our office was ‘ingver-klerten’ Without realising that they don’t use ginger to mean a colour, or nuts to mean balls/testicles. In English ‘licking eggs’ is just a slow way to have breakfast.
I am German and it’s understood by everyone to mean “Merz licks balls”.
Yeah I got it too, but to only native English speakers, licks eggs is mostly only literal.
I still like ingverklerten as an idea though, even if it is wrong. Like the other one we tried, ‘glockenende’ to mean ‘bellend’
