[@tasminoben686]

@DontTrustTheRabbit Lach! Karl Ranseier ist tot... Moin Trixie, ich benutze manchmal den Ausruf: Liebe Eltern, besonders Mama und Papa! Was ist denn hier wieder los! Dir und deiner Family einen ruhigen, 4. Advent. Bleibt gesund! grüße aus Stormarn Ben

Da kann ich nur "Holger die Waldfee" von Lars Ruppel empfehlen... kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2LOpKmqaq6JoMU Viel Spaß! :)

[@briancrawford8751]

Okay, Trixi, you got me with the story about killing three men with a fork and I was about to google it, but in my defense, you did say 1933, and um, stuff happened then. I really wasn't sure. Hope all's well with you!

[@koi9826]

Well to be fair, english also has "holy mackerel"

I am so glad that you are back. You’ve been missed something fierce. Wir lieben dich.

[@negakirine]

Not with „Ach du...“ but „Mein lieber Herr Gesangsverein!“ must be my favorite. Also, one that my husband uses: „Himmel, Arsch und Zwirn!“ 😃 It would be a good idea to make a video with expressions that don‘t start with „Ach du...“. I have a friend who uses: „Ach du Schande!“ and „Ach du Schreck!“ in front of her kids, instead of Scheiße, obviously. 😁

[@gautierjo]

Nice one! But you forgot about "Holla, die Waldfee!" and "Mein lieber Scholli!" 😂

[@amicitia2709]

To be honest...for some reason i say "Heiliges Bananenbrot" 🤣

[@DontTrustTheRabbit]

Love it! 😂🍌🍞

[@pacificcoastpiper3949]

Holy banana bread?? That’s interesting 🤨

[@janaaj1an889]

That would be good in English, too! "Holy banana bread"!

[@mayo4660]

I often say "heilige Erdnussbutter" --> holy peanutbutter Don't ask why

[@JfromUK_]

It rather reminds me like the Dutch "helaas, pindakaas!" ("Unfortunately, peanut butter"). It seems just to be the thrill of rhyming that makes people say it!

[@benjaminstephens7238]

Why? Come on. It’s the internet. You knew someone would eventually. 😆

[@markforsyth2721]

Loved the one “My hovercraft is full of eels”. I was a popular phrase, for British soldiers based in Germany in the 80’s, along with various other poor translations into German such as: Not much cop, traffic jam and To flipping right squire.

[@yodofark7688]

Very funny - entertaining hostess. Don't even have time to learn the language, yet the entertaining delivery makes this channel worth visiting!

Hi Trixie! *What about a video on your English learning journey? The difficulties you faced and what we might face while doing visa-versa?*

[@happylion18]

Just found this channel, and I already love it

[@acefox1]

Nice one Trixie! Bravo! 👍 I especially appreciated the Monty Python joke.

[@kyleward3914]

"Holy mackerel" is an expression in English, too.

[@TrangleC]

I'm fascinated by regional ones, like "Ei verbibbsch!" or however that is spelled. I haven't got the slightest clue what the literal meaning of it might be. Other good ones are "Jesses nee!" or "Heidesack!", "Heilandsakrament!" or "I glaub mie laust an Aff'!"

[@paluna4785]

I had to thought about "Jesses de Kinner" Whatever that really means xD

[@-Meike]

"I glaub mie laust an Aff'!" means something like "That can't be true!" or "That's a joke!"

Well that was something else alright. Mostly it was almost 4 minutes from my favourite German content creator. Hope you and the family are doing well and Merry Christmas Msmma rabbit and family. 🎅🤶🐇🎄

Analog zu Pittiplatsch gab es in Österreich für Kinder das "Betthupferl" mit Kasperl und dem Pezi Bär, der in Holy-Moly-Situationen den Begriff "Krawuzi Kapuzi" verwendet hat.

[@stechuskaktus8318]

I actually never heard about Ach du meine Nase before. I think "my lovely Mr. singing club" would fit in this category, too. "cross pear-tree elder-shrub", or even "cross pouch cement" are also interesting, though more of a curse than a "oh my ..." variant; same goes for "Heaven ass and yarn". Another common one would be "oh you lovely time"

[@crusiethmaximuss]

Well, it doesn't matter what I used to say, now I am randomly calling a bad situation a fat egg 🍳 ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I sometimes just use a random string of noises to express frustration.

One I stole from Scrooge McDuck is "Rarer than eyebrows on eggs!"

[@keithward2421]

"Rarer than rocking horse manure" is a common expression in Australia

I always find euphemistic idioms very funny. In the event of a serious, tragic catasrophe »Hoppala«.

Pittiplatsch would definitely be controversial in America.

[@WuliNuChem]

Nice to have you back Trixi. When you said the word Kobold (sp?) it reminded me of a string of insults my Grade 10 German teacher would slew at us whenever we misbehaved. Maybe you and your commenters can help me translate the rest of it. I only took grade 10 and 11 German so . . . OK, here it is, phonetically as I remember it 48 years later :). "Dumpkoff azel lausboob kobold klingelt auchgaburt der holle. What I think I know: Dumpkoff axel - stupid ass? Kobold - gnome? Auchgaburt der holle - monsters from hell?

[@chaosphoenix2812]

There is also "Wat zum...". Its basically "What the..." Or what i say when something get on my nerves would be: "verdammte... aaaahhhh!". Yes i actually say that.

[@puntinounterwegs]

Heiliges Kanonenrohr!

[@tommunyon2874]

My favorite idiom goes something like this: Die Radische von unterum betrachten (looking at the radishes from below). Not sure if I got the spelling correct, but this is equivalent to pushing up daisies, which a significant number are doing as a result of the pandemic.

Haha good stuff xD Thanks a lot for your creative work :)

Hey Trixie. ☺️ Dein Englisch ist wirklich großartig, Respekt für diese gute Aussprache. Hast du vielleicht Tipps für mich, wie ich die meine verbessern könnte? Ich habe leider in der Schule nie wirklich Englisch sprechen gelernt... Dabei ist es so wichtig. Meinen Wortschatz versuche ich schon zu erweitern, durch tägliches Vokabel lernen und ich merke auch, dass ich mehr verstehe - viel mehr, als ich sprechen kann. Für einen Ratschlag deinerseits wäre ich echt dankbar. 😅

[@lioba.94371]

I think that all these curse phrases beginning with "Ach du heilige* ,,, " would originally be curses using the name of God, Jesus ("ach du je") or a Saint, but in Christian religion it is forbidden to swear (perhaps as well in other religions, but I don't know actually). So people changed the curses into something harmless, as "Heiliger Bimbam". And so I think "Heilige Makrele" or "Holy mackerel" is a trivialization of "Holy Mary". - Thank you for this funny yet informative video!

[@renab.7390]

Also the phrases "jessasmaria" (derived from the names Jesus + Maria) is pretty common, at least here in Austria.

[@lioba.94371]

@@renab.7390 Yes, and there the origin still is quite obvious.

[@markseare9274]

When something is unexpected and extremely hot, I cry out, „Heise Moroni!" I'm sure it's not a German expression. However, it covers the basics. It's also kind of a play on a German phrase. „Er sagte, er heisse Moroni," meaning, "He said his name was Moroni," or "He said he's hot chestnuts." I think I'm going to start using „Auch du meine Nase!" Sounds so fun! Oh yeah! Traveling down the rabbit hole! I get it! And the story about Lieschen! You got me good!

It's very rare that we Italians don't curse when the life takes us unguarded... In any case we could say: - Perdindirindina - Mannaggia - Perbacco - Porca miseria - Madonna santa (South Italy) - Porca vacca - Perdinci And other terms that honesty I don't remember....
