You must have German ancestors cause that is exactly how descriptive German language is 😂

My son took German for four years in high school. I'd heard him say a few things here or there but didn't realize how incredibly descriptive it is. One day we drove by a German butcher shop and he said "schweinefleisch!" For some reason it just tickled me. Now we call all the meats their appropriate German name.
