Literal German.

If you know a little German, some phrases sound funny when translated into English

Schwarzkopf is blackhead. Imagine putting those comedones on your head. Disgusting!

Schweinsteiger a pig raiser.

There's a particular German brand with funny name to. I never heard it before. The first time I saw it was at a laundry. I was helping my bestie doing laundry. Actually, she did the laundry and I just accompany her. There, on the table, a drawstring laundry bag labelled Liebeskind.

My German is just basic German so I asked my bestie, a big German fan "Isn't Liebeskind, Love child in German?"

Oh my German!

  1. Up to this day, I still wonder what sort of product would be branded Liebeskind. The answer remains elusive.
