    Evidently the TAE commenters are all out celebrating International Hallmark Day…

    Just ran into this bit I had to share here: “…lassen das Netz richtig ausflippen.”

    Ausflippen?? Wirklich?? I haven’t kept up with German slang; but that’s seriously funny. We can all use it, I think.

    Hi Greenpa,
    I was busy cooking breakfast for family in San Antonio, then doing about 5 hours of tree work, which leaves me king of stiff and crampy today. Ausflippen seems to mean “flip-out”, a direct translation. My German is pitiful, though I took a year in college and traveled there summer of 1981.
