German

Published February 11th, 2006 in Everything else, Personal.

OK, today I learned a most impressive German word from a Spanish friend. In German, when you want to say ‘receding hairline’, you say Geheimratsecken. It sounds mysterious, doesn’t it? Litterally, it means ‘the corners of the secret council’. How cool is that!
