Kaleun_Saxi - thanks for the prompt - I really wanted to get the tongue in cheek Englishism for German words like "Achtung Spitfeur !"
I see. Achtung Spitfeuer would be more accurate, but we are tongue-in-cheek.
I'm thinking about other typical English words that we Germans misuse. Like saying "handy" to a mobile phone. For me this is a quite interesting subject, I like reading which German words are actually used in other languages. Time for Blitzkrieg. Kindergarten. Bratwurst. Brathering....
