Have you got any good german swear words?

When I was at uni, I spent a year in Austria as a kind of assistant to the teachers in English lessons.

 

One day near Christmas I was reading the little kids (I think they were about 10 or 11) a story about Rudolf and the other reindeers. I read out all the reindeer names and got a definite snigger in the room from the boys when I read out the name of Vixen. This sounds like a very rude word in German and one which boys of that age would inevitably find funny, especially when an adult is reading it out loud in class.


I will let @GermanBird translate……

Sorry - can't help with this one. It's really something a lady will not  say or write

And the German word for "fox" sounds rude in English too.

 

lol

 

P.S. The Old English word for "lynx" was "lox", so it follows the same pattern.
