Sun, 16 Jan 2011 03:45:40 -0800 An Exogesis of 'Schnookie', and Other German wird's of endearment http://jamesflogue.posterous.com/an-exogesis-of-schnookie-and-other-german-wir http://jamesflogue.posterous.com/an-exogesis-of-schnookie-and-other-german-wir Though somewhat embarrassed, I feel compelled to note that 'Snookie' is probably the most popular term if affection in Germany. The origin of the word, from my cultural understanding, is that Schnookie is Heidi's favorite baby goat, which every child and parent here knows by heart, down to yodeling intro-music. So I've been calling my kids this for years, and yes, sound very much like a German Guido when I shorten this to 'Snook.' Naturally when I started watching Jersey Shore I realized this had to stop, so I started thinking about alternatives. It turns out I had about three choices - most familiar to American readers being 'Schatz' or 'Schatzie'. (literally, Treasure). The problem with this is that it is pretty exclusively a BF/GF term. I would need to be a middle-aged man in a white suit, fake tan and a gold chain saying this to my much younger GF to feel comfortable calling anyone 'mein Schatzilein'. (hmm, it occurs that too many of these apply to me - perhaps I should get a gold chain and just own it). I guess the language itself just isn't affectionate, since the only other term that comes to mind is 'Liebling' or 'Liebchen' (literally, Favorite). But to the German ear this sounds like a housewife serving her husband martinis.
For now I still haven't settled in a proper replacement, what do you think is good?

Thu, 30 Dec 2010 13:16:29 -0800 You Know You're from California if... http://jamesflogue.posterous.com/you-know-youre-from-california-if http://jamesflogue.posterous.com/you-know-youre-from-california-if
You know you're from California  if...


1.  Your coworker has 8 body piercing's and none are  visible.

2.  You make over $300,000 a year and still can't  afford a house.

3.  You take a bus and are shocked at two people  carrying on a conversation in  English.

4.  Your child's 3rd-grade teacher has purple hair,  a nose ring, and is named  Flower.

5..   You can't remember . . . is pot legal or illegal?

6.  You've been to a baby shower that has two  mothers and a sperm donor.

7.    You have a very strong opinion about where your  coffee beans are grown, and you can taste the  difference between Sumatran and  Ethiopian.

8.  You can't remember . . . is pot legal or illegal?

9.  A really great parking space can totally move  you to tears.

10    Gas costs $1.00 per gallon more than anywhere  else in the  U.S

11    Unlike anywhere else in the world, the guy at 8:30 amat  Starbucks wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses  who looks like George Clooney really IS George  Clooney.

12    Your car insurance costs as much as your house  payment.

13  You can't remember . . . is pot legal or illegal?

14    It's barely sprinkling rain and there's a report  on every news station: 'STORM  WATCH.'

15   You pass an elementary school playground and the  children are all busy with their cell phones or  pagers.

16    It's barely sprinkling rain outside, so you  leave for work an hour early to avoid all the  weather-related accidents.

17  HEY!!!! Is pot legal or illegal????

18  Both you AND your dog have therapists, psychics,  personal trainers and cosmetic  surgeons.

19.  The  Terminator is your  governor.

20  If you drive illegally, they take your driver's  license. If you're in the United States  illegally, they give you  one
