These memes are much like health care… As an american I dont get it.
Please speak Dutch in the classroom.
Lol easy bro

Nein, du kriegst dein Scheiß Fahrrad nicht zurück!
Even though I studied German for years idioms and sentence structure still throw me off. I tried to translate that looking up only the words I didn’t remember and figured “dein Scheiss Fahrrad” was “your shit bike” and Kriegen is to catch (or get I guess in this context), so I was like “No, you catch your shit bike not back” doesn’t make sense grammatically in English, so I put it into Google Translate and it translated it as “No, you won’t get your damn bike back”. Maybe it’s because I learned High German and only ever used it in formal settings 95% of the time but it still throws me off, I have a hell of a time trying to understand spoken German because I don’t have the time to parse it mentally most of the time.
Ich kann nicht jemand verstehen!/s
It’s a type of fish, and they are making word plays with the name of the fish. Why? I’m not sure of the origin of this one. I imagine it’s like the beans or the beef stroganoff memes - the origin doesn’t matter much at this point.
The English word for the fish is “sturgeon”.
🎶 Like a sturgeon, caught for the very first time! 🎶
No, that was the prime Minister of Scottland
First minister, only one prime minister in the UK, although they are temporary in nature, sometimes we have 3 in one summer
Danke schön!
Understood… so fisch störganoff
I actually started with eels. Aal (=> eel) can be inserted basically everywhere by just stretching the “a” a bit, like “Aalle wissen das” instead of “Alle wissen das” (everyone knows that). As far as I know, this started (or at least became popular) via Jan Böhmermann, he had some jokes about that in his show - the same guy who wrote the “goat fucker”-poem about Erdogan that caused massive diplomatic problems and resulted in changed laws.
The name of the fish “Stör” is the same as the word “disturb”. That alone offers a lot of potential for bad puns.
It is also weirdly common as a part of other words that don’t have anything to do with fish. And third, there are parts of words that sound similar to Stör.
Take all those ingredients and you can have a lot of fun with strange word combinations and only native speakers have a realistic chance of understanding.
Distörbing.
Störrible
It’s a long störy.
I’m german - UND ICH VERSTEH DAS AUCH NICHT!
Vieleicht neimand es verstehen! 🤣
Ja das ganze ist ziemlich verStörend.
What an exciting way to write STÖR
I love when German memes pop up on my feed. It’s like being given the context clues and visual aid, while the actors speak in Black Speech
Stör is a fish
And it’s also really prevelant in a lot of German words
Mostly making fun with words and nonsense. It’s not even really funny.
Look, it’s all the Germans have for humor, OK? Let them have this.
Ich bin fertig mit Lachen. Kann ich jetzt wieder aus dem Keller kommen?
Nein.
Doch.
Bitte? 🥺
Du störst
