I am working on a legal text and had to look up a word when my eyes fell on the entry "joyride" and the translation crowded up the entire next line when I realized that there is no German word for JOYRIDE.
What?
Walls coming down. I am not breathing. The sweating kicks in, my heartbeat is killing. We don't do this?
We have no name for something that at least 4-5 of my school-boy-friends claimed in boisterous and quarterconcerned ways to have done exactly that just an hour ago - JOYRIDE! (I was there 13 years, that's actually the fastest you can make your way to a college-like graduation in Lower Saxony, that is a lot of time to waste, isn't it? No premature judgment here - did the Bush administration reform the spelling of this word? looks kind of not quite succeded, doesn't it - put a stamp on me later)
So why don't we have a name for it? Mail me, my turtles and I promise that I will promptly delete every entry with tendencies towards boredom, pathos, phlegma or other simplicities. I want your best, pencils.
Be polite, discrete, humble, loyal. Your life will be one big ride and you'll eventually be able to blog here and probably stop this very stupid car-wrecking altogether.
Why do GERMANS not have a word for "joyride" in the dictionary?
And if they had, what would it be?
Give it to me, people.
Oh, aeh, blogging?
EVERYBODY can do it.
Right here.
Now.
