Hi Walter, Bob, Norbert and List,
Gotta get this off my chest before heading for the bunk:
> The German term would be "Scheinmeteorit" - alles klar ;-?
Does this translate back into English like that:
"all-clear shining meteorite" ???
> "Schrecklicheschlackestienen" sounds familiar, too,
Oh, I see: "shriekly slagstons"
> although you won't find it in any dictionary...
So let's publish one ... "it's now or never" ...
Where have I heard these words before ? :-))
Enjoying my first day of summer our vacations here !
Off to bed before it's too led ... sorry "late" ...
Bernd
P.S.: After visiting Germany, Mark Twain once wrote
in 1879 about "The Awful German Language":
"These things are not words, they are alphabetical processions.
And they are not rare; one can open a German newspaper any
time and see them marching majestically across the page - and
if he has any imagination he can see the banners and hear the
music, too. They impart a martial thrill to the meekest subject.
Whenever I come across a good one, I stuff it and put it in my
museum. In this way I have made quite a valuable collection.
When I get duplicates, I exchange with other collectors, and thus
increase the variety of my stock.
