Sächsisch slang of the day...

'Wurst.' Literally means 'sausage,' but the Saxons use it to mean 'All the same to me...' 'What do you want to do?' 'Wurst.' I don't care. Doesn't matter. Pronounce it Saxon-style and very sharply: 'Vorsht.' It's my new favorite thing to say. Saxon German is really fun-sounding. It sounds like drunk German - kind of slurred and a bit deeper and earthier than 'real' German. Dany and I jested that I'd teach him American English, and he'd teach me Saxon German, and then we'll both be able to wander around butchering the proper languages.
