The contraceptive pill in Germany is known as the "antibabypille".

Don't ask how I know this.

Brustwarze... literally translates as 'breast wart', or nipple to you and I.

Very harsh language!

Plus they never use several words when one will do, joke example. "Barenpantensniffersnatchervagenhousamechanicaworker" (Dog catchers vehicle mechanic!) Had a whole list of these at one time, it's the only one I can remember, Cheers Ray

Odd, I heard a the word "nipple" mentioned in a Rammstein song...

I like the way a mobile phone is a "handi", sounds even more camp when Steven Fry does it!

I also wonder why that finger is the "Stinkefinger"
