"This is a Schwarzenegger" Are you saying there's more than one?
lioncat84
That's not a stage name, you know. So yes, there's more than one. His family, for example.
AHorticulturistIsJustANerdyGardener
I, too, share your theory that he was born of a creature that was technically not a Schwarzenegger. Like the egg laid by the not-chicken.
was821
I believe this 100% based on the little knowledge that I have saying German language tends to be pretty literal
schlummi
German language is very descriptive. But other languages got similar expressions, see "chainsaw" "table-leg" "seagul" "aircraft carrier"
thrymn
Some of them are probably okay, but then you have things like Eisenbahn, which is just two nouns together, iron path. So paths iron?

We did rifle quals with M14s. (b/c navy and who tf cares if we have "new" rifles in the middle of the Atlantic)
MycolTheFunguy
I have always thought German sounded like people started making fun of some other cultures language and just forgot when to quit.
toxcrusadr
Maybe that's what made them so mad.
DrunkGermanGuy
You should hear dutch, it's like an adorable, drunk parody version of german.

Well, english just beats up other languages in dark alley ways and goes through their pockets.
Martecles
Why can't the English teach their children how to speak?
AtmaWepn
How else are we supposed to take all the best words as loanwords?
panzersharkcat
That how we know words. We got the best words.
ZottelKnauel
as a german i have to say... you are so right :'D
MycolTheFunguy
My best friend is German, he tries teaching me and I can't help but laugh sometimes.
stackyman
What about the flammenwerfer? You missed the flammenwerfer
frkboy
I showed thatto my friend who looked at me deadpan "It's the same thing as the English, it 'throws the flame'". We're no longer friends.
HurrDurrImABurr
Das ist ein Flamethrower, es throwert flames.

Leramer

Vegainthemirror
Aw thanks. If I may ask, because you're a german speaker too or for another reason?
Leramer
I'm Norwegian. can't explain it, just thought it was hilarious :D
Vegainthemirror
Fair enough :D cheers to you from Switzerland

HurrDurrImABurr
Sounds dutch to me.
TheRepeaterTheRepeater
It's not actually German. Some guy in the 60s made this round to see how fast he could push a .22 projectile. Name was just for fun.
mustang2733
I kinda want to shoot one now.
DataBender
How fast is it? Is it faster than a speeding bullet?
TheRepeaterTheRepeater
A little over 4000fps if I recall. Wiki says 5000 but I don't think the guy actually managed to get it that fast.
DataBender
Neat
sioclya
So around 1220 m/s or 4392 km/h (which is faster than most projectiles that don't come out of a railgun).
