    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.

      Ihr übersetzt es nicht, sondern ihr erfindet ähnlich aussehende deutsche Wörter.

      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!
