In German, you may hear about strange animals - well, they're not animals:
- Drahtesel (wire donkey) = bicycle
- Wasserhahn (water rooster) = water tap
- Spaßvogel (fun bird) = joker
- Landratte (Land rat) = landlubber
- Tischbock (table goat) = trestle
- Pleitegeier (bankrupt vulture) = symbol for bankruptcy
- Fleischwolf (meat wolf) = mincer
- Leseratte (reading rat) = book lover
- Schweinehund (pig dog) = the inner force that keeps you from doing sports
Enjoy our language!
