uhh... over e30? over what?

[thectrlguy]

Maybe I should have clarified..... While it does have several meanings... It would normally be associated with the meaning superior, cool, excellent, etc...

I bet it would look good on a shirt!

Sorry I had to. How much was it on eBay?

[thectrlguy]

Truth be told, I contemplated getting a shirt made like that!

All said and done, it was like $35 that includes the shipping from Germany. The eBay user name is euro-license-plates, they have various colors to choose from.

Uber means very.

I used to work for a German owned company and one thing I learned is how amazing it is how our languages and cultures are very similar in that we say some very stupid things. We say many stupid things in English that make no sense unless you are familiar with the culture. And likewise they say several stupid things in German.

So when the Germans would come over to the US to stand over our shoulders to make sure we were doing our work properly and efficiently sometimes we would encounter guys who did not speak any english. And in the process of using the Alta-Vista translator we would sometimes exchange comments that were percieved to be insulting if they made any sense at all. Like one day the guy walks up to me and says, "I need help with the new server. It's to can't" and I was like, "huh? Come again?" and so he turned to his collegue and muttered something under his breath in German and then they looked it up on the computer again and said, "It's to can't". So after about an hour and finding a couple of people who were fluent in both languages I finally learned that they wanted to slide out the server so that they could get behind it and check the settings.

I think in German, one says, "Kill two flies with one fly swatter."

I have not yet mastered the cultural skills of the language.
