What are your words for things which have not really names? First word: 'Kältewurst' (maybe you don´t have this in your country): In germany we put a kind of a stuffed animal in front of the door gap. Especially in winter when it´s cold, this could conserve the warmth in the house or stops the airflow. it is long as the width of the door. Some people say 'Kältewurst' (cold sausage) to it. But that is not an official word. Elsewhere it could have another name. It has different looks. Sometimes like a snake, or a bear without arms and legs.You can associate the form of the body with a sausage (typical german ;-) The second word: 'Konsumtrennlatte' ('consume separating latch') - maybe another typical german thing, haha. at a supermarket-cashpoint we put this latch between the things of the other people to make clear: this is mine. Maybe it is easier for the collector to stop his mechanical way of counting. Otherwise the things of the person behind me would appear on my bill ;-)

What was your funniest false use of words in a foreign language? For example i asked the waiter in a thai restaurant: do you have something to sharpen? He brought me chillies, so he understood.
