Hi Michael
Is this a riddle? :shock:
Bye the way, a little English tip: Instead of saying "latest past", you should learn the word "recently".

Hi Amy!
Thanks for your recently reply! 8) Anyhow is it a riddle! But this creatures exist in fact. My mistake is that I don?t know the correct English idiom for buttock antlers. So if you translate it straight into German you?ll know the German idiom which for me sounds really funny! I liked to know the English idiom for it.

Do you mean 'Arschgeweih', Michael? I had no idea what that meant, so I looked it up: slang whale tail.
And whale tail seems to have more than one meaning:
1 - tatto on the small of the back
2 - when a girls G-String pops out of the top of her jeans
Quite instructive, I must say :lol: !
Edit: Sorry, perhaps I should have said 'Pogeweih' in German (sounds less vulgar, doesn't it?) |

Hi Conchita!
Congratulation, you got it!
Whale tail fits in every way better than -use another word-antlers. I must propcure a more fashionable dictionary.
For the German idiom I only knew your first solution. Really instructive :lol:
