      What we do is called “Zangendeutsch”, which means, that we force translate everything into German, even if the translation is absolute bullshit or completely wrong.

        I got some of that, but there are posts in here where I have zero idea what’s going on even knowing the source English meme text.

        It reminds me a bit of engrish aka English texts in Japan. Though those are more generally humorous at their literal meanings.

        Aber, Danke für die Erklärung!
