| Nov 14, 2020 at 18:15 | comment | added | infinitezero | It's not really a strong expression, so there's no harm in saying this jokingly to Germans. They probably laught about it and will be impressed that you know this obscure phrase | |
| Nov 14, 2020 at 16:19 | comment | added | Graham Lucas | Haha, thanks HalvarF for the explanation. I won't be repeating this to Germans! | |
