Very odd thing Catlar, I didin't know. There are a few expressions like these SkoutSews, but didnt know about Dutch currage, or Gerry made being a bad thing. German made to me leans towards well made, at least cars, sewing machines, thread, even their chocolate and white wine lol
I always wondered why the common brown rat is called rattus norvegicus. I know there are ethymological explanations for this, I have a dictionary for Norwegian words, maybe I should get an ethymological dictionary for English words too ;- )
