Fact. Germans (I am one) are enthusiastic pork eaters, yet the pig makes an appearance in derogatory words e.g. "Schweinerei" for something messy/disgusting or "Sauhund" for a disliked person. Then again, it is also a symbol of luck, e.g. little marzipan pigs, or the expression "Schwein gehabt" for a lucky event.
- LargoLasskhyfv 2y agoDer fährt wie 'ne gesengte Sau! / Drives like a pig on fire. Quiek! edit: also Sparschwein even more edit: I grew up in a part of Bonn Bad Godesberg called Schweinheim. Steep hillside up to the plateau of the Kottenforst. Has been used as so called 'Hütewald' in old times, because it wasn't good for much else, because too steep. Grunz!
