@t_robinart @lori @RickiTarr You severely underestimate German. It has a range of terms for fecal matter that far surpasses English, With many finer details: Jauche, Mist, Scheisse, Tierkot, Kacke, Duenge, Gruenduenge, Guelle, Mistamsel, ...

Kind of like Eskimo words for snow.

@RickiTarr @rrb @t_robinart Gruenduenge? I'm trying to picture it.

In western hemisphere we say Inuit not Eskimo.

@lori @RickiTarr @t_robinart now. Not when people like me learned to speak. In fact, I was not aware that some find the term Eskimo offensive until I researched this reply.

Speak a language all your life and still ignorant.
