    I hate how the US has sexualized every random word or sentence. I'm here telling my American friend how funny it is that German's call smart phones a "handy", like "haha silly random word that makes sense tho haha :)", but no, ma American bud breaks down laughing imagining German's giving each other hand jobs.

    Also the constant stopping during any sentence to go "oh, I know what YOU'RE thinking, get your mind out of the gutter!". No, I don't, and now I have the privilege of trying to remember every single word that wa just said and trying to see what inside there could possibly be a penis. This from of "joke" never fails to annoy the shit out of me. Like please can we just continue, or do you really have to recite this copy pasta while I stare like an absolute dunce at you?

    Sounds like your friend is just some dumbass who's trying to fit something in there that just doesn't. ...that's what she said

    I just had a light bulb moment as to what it is that annoys me about a large portion of US-american men: all the "dudes" temper & behaviour is adolescent - as if they never made it past puberty. Which perfectly fits the sexualized language being funny to those guys.

    I'm american and this is a perfect description of americans. I've literally never heard this phrase once, but I don't hang out with morons.

    To be fair it's rather odd they call it that. Germans seem rather strange with English in general.

    They go to public viewings to watch on their beamers. Even when no one has died. Lothar Matthäus claims "I'm a German record player". They carry stuff around in their body bags and listen to music from "boxen".
    Merkel even told the english press about her shitstorm. Every day there is a cringe moment.
