If it’s German, it’s weird. In German “Schluss” is an end.
It has different connotations from the other word for end, “das Ende”, which is more literally “the end”: “Schluss” is something like “it’s over, pack it up!”
Technically it does come from a declination of “schließen”, which mostly means “close”, so I assume that’s where the idea comes from, but in this form it does not reflect normal usage. “Lock” would be “abschließen”, but “Abschluss” as a substantive also rather means “the end of something”.
As a free standing word it’s just… weird.
If it’s Dutch maybe it makes sense, don’t know Dutch!
- hobofan 4y agoNothing weird about it at all. Based on their footer ("Schluss. Basta. Stop.") it's supposed to be read as an exclamation. As an exclamation ("Schluss."/"Schluss!") it would be translated as "stop it!".
- anyfoo 4y agoAh, the footer clarifies they actually meant it like that. Makes sense then, thanks.
