Pmaltby Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 We at BMW feel that members of our UK operation could benefit from knowing certain auto terminology used by your German counterparts. This should avoid embarrassment at our interdepartmental meetings. Therefore before the next technical meeting please make the effort, read and inwardly digest the following : INDICATORS------------Die Blinkenleiten Tickentocken SPEEDOMETER---------------Der Egobooster PUNCTURE--------------Die Phatte mit Bludyfuken LEARNER-------------Die Twaten mit Elplatten ESTATE CAR----------Die Bagsromm fur Shagginkinauto WINDSCREEN WIPER----Die Fippenflappenschittenspredden FOOTBRAKE-----------Der Edbangenonvindskreen stoppenquik BREATHALYSER--------Die Puffintem fur Pistenarsen SEATBELT------------Der Klunkenklicken Frauleintrapper HEADLIGHTS----------Das Dippendontdazzle ubastud FOG WARNING---------Die Puttenfutdownen Fukit HIGHWAY CODE--------Der Wipen fur Asen TYRES---------------Phlattfarts TRAFFIC JAM---------Der Bluddinfukkin damnundblasten BACKFIRE------------Der Lowdenbangen mekkenme Fukenjumpen JUGGERNAUT----------Der Fukkengret trucken ACCIDENT------------Der Bleedinmess NEAR ACCIDENT-------Der Fuken neer schittenselfen CYCLIST-------------Pedalpushen pilloken REAR VIEW MIRROR----Der Yokhunter TooKlosen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Elworthy Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 The correct German term for indicator is "vy you only do 190 in ze fast lane, move over or I vill have to shoot you" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
