The German phrases (Ameisenlaufen, pelzige Haut) seem odd. As a native German I've never heard of them and there's a grammatical error in the second one (it's cited as "pelziges Haut", the grammatical gender of the adjective and noun don't match up: Haut is feminine but pelziges indicates neuter). He doesn't seem to be a native speaker so I'd take that claim with a grain of salt.
- fullmoon 9y agoAmeisenlaufen is used in Austria quite a bit. Never heard pelzige Haut.
- gsich 9y ago"einschlafen" or the dialect forms are common too.
- btschaegg 9y agoWhen it comes to Switzerland, I only ever witnessed the phrase using "einschlafen" (fall asleep) as well. I never heard of the other two. Also: I think I would still get the "ants" idiom (just based on the feeling itself), but the furry skin part really puzzles me.
