I dedicate this section of the blog to my dear Mutti, Eva, for teaching me the word “Quatsch” (I may also spell it “kvatch“ and it rhymes with “much“). As in, “Peter, don’t talk so much quatsch…” Or “Jerry Lewis movies are such quatsch!” That’s not all she did, and doubtless most of it was more important, but more often than not, quatsch was fun, quatsch was cool, quatsch was entertaining!
You don’t believe me! Check it out on the web. I found the following via a German - English dictionary online. "Klik on it, QuatschKopf!"
Now tell me that is not a lengthy list of interesting uses of the term. And it’s not just fun in German. I see no reason the rest of us Anglo speakers should lose out.
“Kvatch” Kohrner: will feature links to amusing stuff on the web. So, if you come across something worth watching or listening to, please let me know via email at etzchayimforum@aol.com. Good taste is not paramount - but it has to be clean, that is, stuff you can look at with your children.
Look forward to hearing from you...
And Be very, very good.
