OK I'm sure German has a word for the feeling when the god damned vending machine won't take your money. What is it?
-
@scribus I'm not aware of a specific word for that but "Wut" (anger) is probably the closest one.

@colfax But... vending machines do not even have a face. Though if it had one I guess you wanted to punch it, soo, yes ? I kinda hope you can apply that word to "things" though ^^

@critialcloudkicker Yeah, I know, I usually use the word to describe Ted Cruz and the great Trumpkin.

@colfax I should really go watch the latest GOP debate and what they are all about. If it is only half as interesting as the last Democratic debate ( which could have been titled "the roast of hillary" IMHO ) it should be great. And usually GOP debates are with a LOT more awesome insulty-rhetoric. Right now I know a lot about Trump, Cruz wants to go see if sand glows if it becomes hot enough and uses fancy words like "carpetbomb the middle east"... and Kasich... ... I honestly had to look up how to spell that name and know nearly nothing of him.
Will I be wasting my time as an European ? Probably yes, but the whole puppet-show surrounding "America's next top model president" is amusing to me.Wednesday, 20-Apr-16 17:43:22 UTC from web-
@critialcloudkicker Any debate with Trumpkin is usually on the "third grade playground" level and his answers to questions read like a kid trying to pad out an essay to reach the word limit the teacher set.

@colfax Arguably still better than Jeb Bush

@critialcloudkicker "Please clap"
Wednesday, 20-Apr-16 17:47:23 UTC from web-
@colfax I was more thinking along the lines of where he was trying to get Trump's goat over and over again to defeat him at his own game of showmanship but... dammit guy.

@critialcloudkicker Right now I'm just enjoying watching the GOP implode, it's like a slow-motion trainwreck, all I need is some popcorn.
Wednesday, 20-Apr-16 18:15:55 UTC from web-
@colfax It is kinda like Dutch politics, only with just 2 sides instead of 18. Which makes the popcorn so much more sweet, or salty.
Wednesday, 20-Apr-16 18:17:32 UTC from web -
@colfax In all fairness, why is the GOP implode other than each individual acting like [name of candidate]-fanboy ?
Wednesday, 20-Apr-16 18:19:08 UTC from web-
@critialcloudkicker Because the two in the lead, Trumpkin and the lizard king, are equally despised by their own party.

@scribus I think I am going to go with "Arschgeige verkaufsautomat". But I am pretty sure that @adiwan might point out to me soon enough that Arschgeige is a really sublocal insult and usually only to indicate people. ( people that Potato Knishes up the only thing they were supposed to do (at all)/well )
Wednesday, 20-Apr-16 17:30:29 UTC from web-
@critialcloudkicker Arschgeige is an insult and not a feeling.
Wednesday, 20-Apr-16 17:32:44 UTC from Choqok-
@adiwan Insults can be feelings. right ? I mean it works with "lucky" in the opposite spectrum. Same with "happy", although that one you'd probably word differently.
Wednesday, 20-Apr-16 17:36:50 UTC from web-
@critialcloudkicker Insults can evoke feelings and be the result of one (usually anger or sadness) but they are not the same.
Wednesday, 20-Apr-16 17:41:39 UTC from Choqok-
@adiwan Please do not plead to make the German dictionary even larger. :)
But yes, I agree.Wednesday, 20-Apr-16 17:44:37 UTC from web-
@critialcloudkicker "Gefühl" and "Beleidigung" are already in the dictionary. Also without my part there are always new words added to the dictionary.
Wednesday, 20-Apr-16 17:47:24 UTC from Choqok-
@adiwan It was a joke regarding having to invent new words ( which will anways happen anyway ) due to me not knowing exactly what the word is when someone calls me a Weichei. Or laughs at me due to Schadenfreude.

@critialcloudkicker usually when someone calls "lucky" as insult to a person there's an implied "motherbananaer"
Wednesday, 20-Apr-16 17:42:58 UTC from web-
@awl Nono, I meant "opposite spectrum to insults". Not sure if that makes much sense on second thought.
Wednesday, 20-Apr-16 17:45:38 UTC from web-
@critialcloudkicker The opposite of an insult is a compliment.
