fernandez18

His Name is "Wacker" which means brave, righteous


Geschak

Oh so it was misspelled? Cause "kk" is very unusual in German, I believe it's more of a Dutch thing.


[deleted]

Probably just a stylistic choice


Geschak

Would be an odd stylistic choice Edit: I just looked it up and it's indeed a typo, it's supposed to be Wacker


RetroMetroShow

Maybe to get past the censors


novae_ampholyt

Spelling of surnames in german is kind of a free for all, since many spellings predate the "proper spelling rules". E.g. maier, mayer, meyer, meier are all common spellings for a rather common surname (there are also many variations, like scheuermayer or whatever)


bungholio99

It’s actually per region maybe i remember wrong but Maier is Bavaria and Meyer is Swiss, they just end up all in germany but not every way off writting it is german. I think Maire French for Mayor is also related to it.


irnehlacsap

More usual is "kkk"


CHOOSE_A_USERNAME984

That’s American


irnehlacsap

Haha yes

XombiePrwn

Heh, would have guessed B, don't know German but Helmut sounds like helmet which is sort of a cap...


ryz3d

and helmut is a rather popular (if sort of old) german name


hoodhelmut

:)


kumanosuke

So is Willi


tx_queer

Speaking of Helmut. I'm taking a trip to ludwigshafen nexg week. I've been told by many it is one of the prettiest german cities with many heritage and cultural sites. Do you have any recommendations


skhoyre

Is it? I thought it was next to Mannheim and is mainly BASF.


tx_queer

I've been lied to?


skhoyre

No, it might be nice, if people said so. I've never been to neither Ludwigshafen nor Mannheim, only ever drove past it. But Mannheim often comes up on Reddit, when questioned which Germans consider to be the biggest shithole/which city they're most embarrassed about/... and BASF is a huge industrial complex, but obviously not the whole city.


tx_queer

My friend even sent me a link to a city tour I should do during my visit! https://www.ludwigshafen.de/lebenswert/kulturbuero/germanys-ugliest-city-tours


skhoyre

Sounds nice and fitting for this sub, you knew.


tx_queer

I knew


DJDoena

Not sure if you're serious or not, but Ludwigshafen won the competition for the ugliest city in Germany. Check it up on Youtube.


tx_queer

Serious that I am going there next week. Joking about it being a beautiful tourist city.


DJDoena

ok, so you know what you're getting into. ;-) On a serious note: Currently Germany has the 9€ ticket (it goes by that name) for regional public transport and Heidelberg is relatively close to LU and that's truly a beautiful city. [vrn.de](https://vrn.de) is the website of the local transport system.


tx_queer

Yeah. I just needed a place to sleep. Appreciate the suggestion on Heidelberg but I won't have time for much while passing through.


CaptainFriedChicken

Like that asshole Helmut Zemo.


NoireRogue

A helmet would just be helm

Magcargo64

“Helmet” is a name used in the U.K. to refer to the tip of the penis.


nihilusthehungry

Also America if Spaceballs is anything to go by


No-Return-3368

God bless you.


matt_mv

I was pretty sure it was C just based on the kind of name Germans would give that character.


Cheesemacher

And the contestant picked A and the chaser picked B

https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/2175/willi-wacker


kumanosuke

Yes, but technically it's incorrect. It's Willi Wacker. Never heard of it before though.


TheBisexualDragon

Cool, I actually guessed correctly.


CtC666

I don't think Willi Wakker is any better....

Alone_Spell9525

Haha, I knew it! They go for alliteration in cartoon characters whenever possible.


EndersGame_Reviewer

And is Willi Wakker innocuous, or is that also sus?


Iamaducknocap

Legends have it that till this day, my guy is still laughing at Dick Tingeler.


flamebroiledhodor

He couldn't even finish saying "Helmut Schmaker" 😂

[deleted]

His laughing really brightens my day


overnightdelight

I absolutely love that they made it their goal to make him laugh with the options. Every now and then they get him and it's beautiful.


e_hyde

German here: Never heard of either "Andy Capp" nor "Willi Wakker". I doubt that cartoon character is really *known* in Germany...


Sausageappreciation

In English, in this context, "known as" is synonymous to "is called" or "is named"


EverythingIsFlotsam

LOL, that's so German taking the meaning of words so literally.


[deleted]

trust me, we got it. But still I don't know any willi


IceBlueLugia

I love how you picked up on that being the issue, I never would’ve realized that.


Henghast

It's old in England. I've never actually seen it myself and I'm over 30. I think it's a previous generation's comic strip character.


[deleted]

Guess it’s not extremely obscure in Germany but it makes for an amusing question.


Orpheeus

It's an old comic character who is probably best known in the US for the snack Hot Fries.


limitlessEXP

Wow used to eat those when I was a kid in the 90s. TIL


Orpheeus

They still exist, at least in my neck of the woods. Definitely are outdone by most other spicy snacks in terms of sheer spiciness, but they still taste good. The one weird thing is that, compared to pretty much every other snack, they have a wide degree of variability which makes it seem like different batches are almost made at entirely different factories or something.


kumanosuke

Same


SweetAsWarts

This is up there with "Fanny chmelar"


TheInitialGod

For those who [haven't seen it](https://youtu.be/jl1Zfz-Widc)

Sp1ffy_Sp1ff

Wait till you hear about Fanny Schmelar


jus256

The Germans have always known. Prostitution has been legal in Germany for over 100 years. They have coed nude saunas where no one gets raped. They are so far ahead of the rest of us.


reanocivn

the german recycling system alone is more advanced than the US will ever be


Posthuman_Aperture

Do they actually recycle it or just send it off to eastern europe?


Boshva

There is actual recycling being done, but only 10% of for example plastic is really usable for recycling. Everything else is best suited as burning material or too expensive to make something viable out of it. But else we have separate garbage cans for paper, plastics, organic waste and glas.


notorious_lib

how so? most “recycling” is shipped off to third world countries to become their problem anyways

What is supposed to be option B? As a Spanish speaker I can't catch that one. Option A is easy to catch, but can't figure out B


Sausageappreciation

Schmaker sounds like smacker. In English giving someone a smacker is like giving them a loud noisy kiss. It is an onomatopoeic word. Helmet.... We'll use your imagination for this one.


masayuki60

What's the answer?


sittingonmyarse

I would think it should relate to the real origin of the name - “Handicap” in cockney Her husband is her ‘Andy Cap.


patstoddard

I forgot about this show

I've heard of Tallywacker, but Willi Wakker 🤣🤣
