Nicky’s funniest line

egglorru:

  • German is like at least 50% understandable if you’re fluent in English
  • Because cognates, right – words that sound similar in two languages and mean the same thing. English is after all a Germanic language.
  • So like “Hallo. Mein Name ist Nicky. Ich bin homosexuell” obviously means “Hello. My name is Nicky. I am homosexual.”
  • BUT
  • False cognates are also a thing

So PSA that when Nicky was arguing with Aaron in the locker room:

What he actually yelled was “DIESE IST EINE MANNSCHAFTSSPORT!” and his teammates were staring at him wondering why he sounded so upset whilst talking about dicks, because this is Nicky.
