Surely we can enshrine "pretzels with a goat"! it's too good a phrase to lose.

...kinda makes me wonder what's really going on at the U.N.


Rennziege = racing goat, is a expression in Germany for a fast machine. To pretzel (in german: brezeln) in a informal, funny way means to ride.

So the sentence above could be translated like: Although its real fun to pretzel with such a racing goat across the lake the fear of being punished for each small mistake could spoil the fun of sailing.

SRY i'm not a translator too


Thanks! I love things like that. Language is amazing. I'll try to think of some English slang that does "pretzels with a goat" justice!
