The German word for defusing a bomb translates literally as "remove the spicyness". 🌶️
@sixohsix the beauty of the German language is a substantial portion of words sound like someone got stoned and forgot what the thing was called so ended up saying "hey, could you pass me my hand shoes?"

Chinese is good for this too imo.

@stavvers @sixohsix
car: ancient word for cart
train: fire cart
bus/tram: clanging cart sometimes work cart
rikshaw: person powered cart
bicycle: kicked cart
cart: horse cart

in traditional chinese the word cart still looks like a chariot 車

sorry for any mistranslation, my Chinese is very poor even though I love to learn it.

@floppyplopper @sixohsix kicked cart is a magnificent combination of words
@stavvers @sixohsix
there are some zingers for musical instruments and ball games too.
