No doubt this was invented by some drunk Canadians.

I, personally, would watch the shit out of this.

I’m morbidly curious but I can’t listen to any more of the German announcer. That language should only be used for torturing people, firing people and death metal

Hey, that’s our mutter language!

I’m traumatized from the massive amount of Edelweiss choir performances that I’ve attended in my life.

Oof, if it’s anything like the Austin Saengerrunde Damenchor, and I suspect it is, than I understand your trauma completely.

I presume that you have a “schadenfreude” exemption. That’s a banger of a word.

100%. Angst and doppelganger are up there as well. I’ve also always been partial to rucksack. It sounds dirtier than it is.

We played ice football on the street growing up. It’s fun but it ■■■■■■■ hurts. Time out for cars of course.

It’s just that most cultures tend to root for others misfortune with discretion. The Germans were like, “Nope we’re doing this openly. And not only that but we are inventing a word for it so we can proudly commemorate our National Tradition of Passive Aggression.” When they’re not too busy being downright aggressive of course.

Right, the fact that they had a word for the phenomenon is a big part of its appeal. The fact that it rolls off the tongue is really only a bonus.

Absolutely. Canadians would dominate this sport.

In my youth my favorite international travel partners were typically Germans. Punctual, reliable, loyal, often dark senses of humors, difficult to offend, understand bearing the scarlet letter of traveling abroad from a war crime commuting country of origin. They’re brave but not completely bat shit crazy with their intrepid ways like some Brits. British male gap year students are in my experience the Charles Bronson Death Wish types of the backpacking scene in my experience. Some Germans erupt in song more than I’d prefer though I’d probably be a happier soul if I sang more, so maybe that’s on me not on them.
