I spent the weekend in South Carolina betting on horses and learning German. I won $3 (balla!) at SteepleChase during an afternoon of hanging out with friends, drinking, playing beer pong, and watching horses race around the tracks while dressed up like the Great Gatsby. Going into with low expectations, I was really impressed with how much fun I had. While one of the horses I bet on won, another didn't even finish the race. I was wondering where it went and a few seconds later we heard the announcer call over the intercom, "Horse Ambulance to the track. Horse Ambulance to the track."
The word "Horse Ambulance" is code for "Truck to ship horse to glue factory".
On the way to and back from South Carolina, we watch movies and I inquired as to what all my favorite Rammstein songs where actually about with some new friends from Germany. I learned several new phrases that should be fun to put use to:
"Mutter" - Mother
"Benzin" - Gasoline
"Buck Dich" - Bend Over (typically said to a girl before mounting)
"Keine Lust" - Not tonight, I have a headache
"Mein Herz Brennt" - My heart burns
"Ich Will" - I want
"Du riechst so gut" - You smell so good
"Links 2 3 4" - Left 2 3 4 (as in a military march)
"Zwitter" - Hermaphrodite (this one was a lot of fun hearing the girls explain what it means)
"Tier" - Animal
"Spieluhr" - Music Box
"Seemann" - Sailor (a lot of confusion while they were explaining this one. I believe the phrase "Oh, I love seemann" was the highlight of the explanation)
"Rosenrot" - Rose color
"Feuer Frei!" - Fire away!
"Sonne" - Sun
Now I need a russian friend to explain to me what all these t.A.T.u songs mean.
