Arschgeige - Great German Words #12

If you think Germans just aren't funny - try insulting them. "Arschgeige" - so funny you'll laugh until some guy slugs you in the face.
Weird, wonderful, disturbing, challenging, funny - the video and podcast series Great German Words (on iTunes & Podbean) presents words everyone needs or at least should think about.
Eric T. Hansen is an American writer - originally from Hawaii - who has lived in Germany for 30 years, writes books in German and has a great need to share these words with you.

When I heard this word the first time, I couldn't stop laughing from the mental image. I got the homosexual undertone right away, but still thought this was the funniest curse word I had ever heard. My brother suggested as the English equivalent: Butt strummer.
