Had to look them up and came across this article and this one with some more.

Frankfurt, and whaddayaknow, perfectly understand everything around me

Until someone starts a lengthy talk about Ebbelwoi

I looked it up again:
It’s derived from the Yiddish word “Schofel” which itself is already an insult and closer to the German word “Lump” and the English “rascal”(?).

If you want a literal translation for Schofseckl I’d go for “sack full of useless rags”.

And Seckl < Säckle < Sack would be perfect for scrotum too

No, the meaning of “Sack” alone, without context is that of a soft, loosely shaped container. If “Sack” is used as a short version for “Hodensack” then yes, it can be used as an insult but that’s not the case here.
“Seckl” is more similar to the Bavarian/Austrian “Sackl” or “Packl” it’s just a bag.

That’s fair, I learned to speak a more understandable version as I grew older. One of my half brothers and his father have a very heavy dialect. To the amusement of my sisters and me.

Their dialect is so strong that when the car broke down while on their way to family in Hessen, my step father couldn’t properly communicate with the mechanic. We still quote parts of the conversation. It was glorious.

Other than that I love Swabian life lessons like " ‘s läbe isch koin Schlotzer" or small odes to their treckers like "Isch d’ Berg au no so schteil, mein Fendt der schafft des alleweil!".

But I also prefer the way you people in the North talk. At least listening :D

The “Schof” is not drived from the German “Schaf” but from Yiddish. The older generations used it to describe someone who’s a useless idiot. E.g. when. someone fucks up something easy and obvious

When I was a child my mother worked at night to deliver newspapers. A lot of her colleagues were Turkish and German was only spoken when it was relevant for all or explicitly for my mother and step father.

I could often hear conversations held in Turkish interrupted with German words like “Steuererklärung” (tax declaration) or “Finanzamt” (German tax authority) but my personal highlight was when a Turkish outburst was followed by a “Du Schofseckl” which is a very local way to call someone names.
Just imagine someone talking to you in a foreign language and ends with a term your grandfather used to berate stupid neighbors.

This is so simple and so good at visualizing what dimensions we’re talking about!

I want this for my tv remote so much! Navigating through an on screen keyboard with arrow keys is just horrible…

You man as in expensive and more difficult aren’t the same thing?

What a better way to achieve this, than putting education behind a paywall!

Was it also sponsored by the “I want my kids to have a better life than me” crew who then complains about kids having it too easy these days?

I remember my first music festival where a group of people tried to use this as some kind of time bomb. The put the can on their little gas stove and waited. For hours. They gave up when the main acts went on stage.

I knew it was him before I clicked. The resemblance is hilarious :D

Ooops, you’re right. Thanks :)

Guess there’s a fair share of Valentine’s babies among them

Edit: my math is off. They’ll have birthday in November.

He also loves to rant about political correctness being the reason why people don’t find him funny anymore. Young people are just really offended. Definitely not related to him including being only able to make offending jokes. But Jews am I rite? (/s obvs).

Reading his Wikipedia article alone will already be helpful enough to overcome your affection.

Seinfeld and his family previously drew criticism, travelling to the occupied West Bank in 2018 to participate in an anti-terrorism simulation camp.

…

In 2025, responding to a social media influencer and ambush activist who said “Free Palestine”, he shook his head and replied “I don’t care about Palestine.”

Jello

Define “solid”. It can actually be a bit chunky because of the uterine lining. But they are soft

So TIL Peter Peppers exist. I wonder how long it took until the person responsible for this said “yes! Finally! They all look like dicks!”
