loaned from German, where it's originally a way to say buttocks, literally "sitting flesh". If you have more Sitzfleisch you can sit for longer. Both in the literal sense (a bigger butt makes sitting more comfortable) and in the figurative sense (having the mental ability to sit for longer, get more desk work done)
- glenstein 2mo agoFascinating crossover from literal to figurative that you find so often when you trace language back far enough.
- bryanrasmussen 2mo agoI think there is an IT bit of humor from about 1 decade+ back where the people who's proposals won out in meeting were the ones that could keep from needing to go to the bathroom longer.
