Is there a colloquial/slang equivalent of “'them's fight'n words” in German? I decided not to use the phrase, as suggested by many of you. Thank you all for the helpful feedback. But, this very post will appear in the background of a video made at the conference! I will post a link when it is up. Thank you again! |

Is there a colloquial/slang equivalent of “'them's fight'n words” in German? "Ansehen? Ich geb' dir was zum Ansehen!" feels right (in english, at least.) I'm trying to show how people-reputation (we call it Karma) on the web can engender strong offense, professional and personal. |

Is there a colloquial/slang equivalent of “'them's fight'n words” in German? Hmm. I like the ironic phrasing (though I am not at all German) - my topic is reputation systems, so what would be the correct form of "Ansehen? Ich geb dir gleich Ansehen!" [Apologies, I used translate.google to get something that looks like Reputation in and out. |

Is there a colloquial/slang equivalent of “'them's fight'n words” in German? The slang phrase has many grammatical errors - and as such suggests an unsophisticated speaker. It is likely he took offense at a comment that insulted his intelligence. A polite form of the expression would be "The words you spoke are an insult, sir! Prepare for fisticuffs." But, I'm not interested in the formal version, but something that reflects the easy offense by someone lacking cultural sophistication. |
