I wouldn't be a fan of faggots and the thought of munching on a spotted dick doesn't appeal to me either. Call me fussy....

It does exist. The first time I saw it was in a club in the Czech Rep. about 7 or 8 years ago when Reb Bull was taking off (excuse the pun

). I was a little worried at first as the walls of the club were all painted in match stick men with boners, some down on all four. It was only when I went to the bar and saw the yellow cans of spunk with the same matchstick men on it that I lost the worried expression

Edit: To add my own strange one names. There are packets of crisps in Finland called Mega Pussi. Plus you can get bags of Mega Pussi with extra cheese as well. Have a pic of that somewhere at home if I can find it.

In Denmark you can get little packets of Spunk.

I also recall a bus company around Krakow/Zakopane having an offensive name but I can't remember what it was!

You dream of a drink called spunk..... me thinks you like faggots.

I love this thread!

Is that Black and Tan icecream still available?

EDIT:

Just found this

Contrary to popular belief, however, Black and Tan is not a drink commonly consumed in Ireland.....In March of 2006, Ben and Jerry's released an ice cream flavor in the United States for Saint Patrick's Day inspired by the drink; the name offended Irish nationalists because of the paramilitary association. Ben and Jerry's has since apologized. A spokesman told Reuters, "Any reference on our part to the British Army unit was absolutely unintentional and no ill-will was ever intended."

Not a big seller in Cork apparently

Aldi/lidl have chocolate bars called disco biscuits. Some bang off them.

I cook on smeg.

Try this one out for size, apparently it tastes like it sounds.

I think you'd need to be putting the toilet paper in the fridge if you were going drinking a lot of that!

sorry bout going back 3 pages to refer to the OP, but does anyone find it even more disconcerting that they sorta stylise the 'sauce' in the phrase 'In a rich west country ~sauce~'

After having a delicous Chicken Tikka Masala yesterday I was looking through Irish and British cuisine on the web and came across Faggots - - - which apparently are a type of meatball.

I used to have them as a kid in England, a looooooong time before the word **** had other connotations. They're actually very nice .. a kind of large spicy liver meatball served in a rich gravy. Mainly known in the south west of England .. Bristol, Bath that kind of area.

Fagotts...Bristols...

Did you lick it out

of the jar when it was nearly empty ?

Somewhat related (if lacking the general level of lewdness) as a marketing blunder;

I believe when Pepsi were marketing to China some time ago with the phrase "generation next", they managed to botch the translation up to such an extent that the slogan effectively read "brings your ancestors back from the dead".

Lockstep · 07-01-2008 08:15PM

Belgium used to have lovely biscuits called Spunk.

Honestly

I remember reading about that, spot on.

This means sour milk in German, but imagine the horror on my face when I looked at the contents of my yoghurt! :eek:

Here's a site dedicated to this kind of stuff: http://www.engrish.com/.

Came across this in work the other day

http://www.cuntz-guitars.de/en/

(presumably will be edited, the missing word is the c-word if you care to type the link)

From the links and acknowledgements page

JENS MAHLA - "funked" by Cuntz-Guitars
MARTIN HARLEY - "slided" by Cuntz-Guitars
PERFECT STRANGER - "brothered" by Cuntz-Guitars
PETTERI SARIOLA - "slammed" by Cuntz-Guitars
ROLAND JOUBERT - "stinged" by Cuntz-Guitars
ROLF MUNKES - "serviced" by Cuntz-Guitars

For a guy with apparently a good command of English he must have missed the class that discusses English slang

Came across another German with the surname Vanka or Wanka (cant recall which)

They are still around, we got some to offset the affects of 2 hours sleep per night for 6 days :eek: Fairly manky (only realised after drinkin them that they were two months past their sell by date). Cant recall their name but yeah they did seem to allude to having some sort of potential viagra like quality to them (skinny matchstick men with tiny mickeys isnt the best ad move if your trying to promote it as such Id have thought but anyway)

edit- yep, thats the two of them there

We did joke that eyebrows might be raised by a group of Irish men in green, singing traditional/rebel songs and carrying a tricolour (went for the Ireland match) buying semtex in the Czech Rep

Im sure that boy is now about 18 or 19, and prays every night that nobody he knows will ever find that article/photo on the BBC website.

Now I don't actually speak German, so this might be a whole lot of old nonsense, but I'll tell you anyway, because a German man I know thought it was very comical.
You know that liqueur Irish Mist? Well, if you buy a bottle of that and give it to a German person as a present, he'll think you're giving him a bottle of Irish Cow ****, because mist is a German slang word for manure.

Also, when I was in Germany - specifically Munich, in case that's important - last year, I spotted a chain of snack shops called YORMA, which I thought my fellow boardsies might like to hear about.

Where you getting your sanger from today, Herman?
