agreed. plus everything can be funny if you just translate it word for word, even though in almost all languages the meaning for the original words barely cross people's minds when they use compound words.

eg:

German: Kamin

French: Cheminée

Spanish: Chimenea

English: FIREPLACE!

like fucking cavemen

I counter:

French: briquet

Spanish: mechero

English: lighter

German: Feuerzeug => FIRE THING

Who's the caveman now?
