Funny German Party Phrases
The Germans are not the first people who come to mind when people think about party nations. Somehow the Germans have a reputation for being hard workers and more serious than most. I still haven’t figured out how the Germans managed to fool the world into believing that they are so conscientious about their work. The fact is that not only do the German’s have a very short working week, but they also enjoy some of the longest holidays in Europe. That’s why whenever you travel abroad it’s almost inevitable that you will meet Germans. Also these days Germans are more and more willing to accept a lower salary for more time off to enjoy quality time with friends and family.
A popular German pastime is of course watching football and celebrating in style with plenty of flowing lager when their team wins. The German language has so many funny German phrases to describe having an absolute ball because it’s such a popular national pursuit. A fun example is the German expression “die Sau rauslassen” (lit. to let the pig out), which means to paint the town red. I think you’ll agree that this popular german phrase is wonderfully descriptive and is a great way to describe mayhem in bars and on the streets when the national football team wins important international matches. More funny German words to describe intense party commotion are “eine Bombenstimmung” (literally a bomb atmosphere) and “das Remmidemmi”, which is pure mayhem.
As already mentioned, more than anything else international football victories inspire some of the longest and wildest German parties. The Germans celebrate well into the wee hours or in German “Sie feiern bis in die Puppen”. So the next time you’re on the lookout for a party holiday destination, I can highly recommend visiting Germany – especially if it’s during the football World Cup! I’d also advice learning a few more cool German words before you head off and you’ll have no trouble integrating with the locals.
