I actually have a more serious post in the hopper, but when I saw this in my spam filter, I found myself seriously distracted.
Rock Bottom Preis fur die neueste Schmuck Kollektion
You don’t even have to be able to read German to read this. Or do you? Here’s the translation:
Rock Bottom price for the latest jewelry collection
Gotcha — and it got me, too! In Yiddish, schmuck … um, doesn’t mean jewelry. It refers to a man’s private parts and not in a good way. A schmuck is a jerk.
So heads-up to the German folks who put this email together. Check out the Yinglish slang, baby, before you hit send. Another man’s jerkdom is another man’s treasure.
