A werewolf in German is a Werwolf. Wer from the germanic word from man and wolf.

[–] Jesus_666@feddit.de 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Not to be confused with the Wehrwolf, which fights back fiercely, and the Wärwolf, which would but isn't. The Werfwolf, while very throwable, is right out.

And the Werftwolf builds ships

And of course, who would forget the globetrotting Weltwolf

Der Werwolf

Ein Werwolf eines Nachts entwich von Weib und Kind und sich begab an eines Dorfschullehrers Grab und bat ihn: Bitte, beuge mich!

Der Dorfschulmeister stieg hinauf auf seines Blechschilds Messingknauf und sprach zum Wolf, der seine Pfoten geduldig kreuzte vor dem Toten:

„Der Werwolf“ – sprach der gute Mann, „des Weswolfs, Genitiv sodann, dem Wemwolf, Dativ, wie man’s nennt, den Wenwolf, – damit hat’s ein End.“

Dem Werwolf schmeichelten die Fälle, er rollte seine Augenbälle. Indessen, bat er, füge doch zur Einzahl auch die Mehrzahl noch!

Der Dorfschulmeister aber mußte gestehn, daß er von ihr nichts wußte. Zwar Wölfe gäb’s in großer Schar, doch „Wer“ gäb’s nur im Singular.

Der Wolf erhob sich tränenblind – er hatte ja doch Weib und Kind!! Doch da er kein Gelehrter eben, so schied er dankend und ergeben.

I'm over here making a " is a hot dog A sandwich ?" Comment and you're over there taking me seriously

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 7 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Sandwich is two pieces of bread. Hotdog is a hinged loaf. If anything, a hotdog is a sub.

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Aren't subs a subset of sandwiches?

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wrong.

A hotdog is a taco. Think about it.

A submarine sandwich.

Open faced sandwiches.

Hot dog is sandwich.

He's obviously German so he ist korrekt.
