A schweinsteiger is someone who's f*cking a pig in the arse.

hmm that would be more like a schweineBEsteiger..

Swine is Schwein right? same thing. Fleiss/Fleisch = Flesh, very similar but to be specific there are words that I say such as Kaput and Rausse and Los.

especially in American vernacular, because of the heavy influence of Deustchlanders in our early culture. Think 1856 timeframe.
- tomkat0
haha Fleiss means diligence..
Los, Jason zurück zu german class! :D

ok, dont laugh at me, but there's this phrase i thought i knew that means something like the spirit of togetherness, zusammen-geist-gefuhl? or something like that.
Sorry if that is totally bullshit and i've embarassed myself :/
- tomkat0
No it's right.. ;D
I just never heard it in that constellation.. you'd rather say "Gemeinschaftgefühl"
- GreedoLives0
Zusammenheitsgefühl?
a feeling of togetherness...don't know if i'd throw 'geist' in there. it's been a while, might not be propa. especially with the reforms and all.
