Positivity

As the most wonderful time of the year (TM) draws near, let's review German expressions of approval. These are suitable for use in approving of the weather, the food, the decor - whatever, go crazy! "But do," you ask, "Germans actually approve of things?"

Yup! Sometimes! And when they do, they say things like this:

• Dieser Schnitzel ist der Hammer! (Literally: This schnitzel is the hammer!)
• Dein neues T-shirt ist geil! (Literally: Your new t-shirt is horny!)
• And the ultimate expression of approval: Das Backstreet Boys Konzert war sau geil! (The Backstreet Boys concert was sow* horny!)

In conclusion, if you work really, really hard, maybe someday you, like me**, can be the hammer. Or pig horny. Whichever you prefer.

* sow, a pig, a female pig; ray, a drop of golden suuuuun...
** me, a name I call myself; far, a long long way to ruuuuun...
