I'm like Jason Bourne for picking up languages. I just flicked on to a German porn site there for 5 minutes and I'm fluent.

So here's my contribution:

actually ...the closest translation of "flamboyant2 int Gereman would be ...


....hold on to yer seats ...




....tataaaa....


"flamboyant"


badoomtish



(seenashow it's originally French and made it into both other languages unmolested.)


The closest equivalent is indeed "extravagant" (also not a true German word)

"auffallend" on the other hand has many other meanings not exactly congruent with flamboyant.

(trundling down the middle of the street, pished out ouf your head, singing, with your willie hanging out is also "auffallend", but definetly not "flamboyant" )

No need to thank me.
