The other day in the pub, one of the guys said he’d read something funny in the Fediverse<\/a> about vegetables and the German language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A German word or phrase with a vegetable content or connection was roughly translated into English. And at the end, the actual meaning was explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We found it just as funny and, over a few beers, tried to collect everything we could think of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The later the evening, the more beer, the more fun, the more unclear the lang…veguage … langveg … language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is our result. It is by no means complete and can certainly be updated soon. I’m sure it already exists somewhere else. And much earlier. But I just wanted to have it here in the drawers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
