Ugh, sorry, Beamer is one of those stupid English words used in the German language. A Beamer in German is a projector. The most famous example of this is the use of the word „Handy“ for mobile phones in German. It’s an English word but it does not mean the same in German…
This was not worthy of an apology. You’ve done nothing wrong. Who has hurt you? Make them pay.
Thanks for clarifying though! That’s a cool ass word. For clarity I am using the slang “cool-ass” not cool “ass-word”. But it’s less syllables and while both are accurate to what the thing does I think calling attention to the beam of light is cooler, personally.
Also, you may be well aware of this but “handy” is slang for getting a wiener tug and I think I’d giggle a bit every time someone used that terminology. “Oh did you get a handy” they’d say, as I come home from the Vodafone store. “I am not so skilled as to get such a thing from the clerk. I merely got an iphone”. I would laugh at my own jokes, but no one else probably would.
Thanks for going on this journey with me. Sorry if it sounded like I am mocking your language, that is not my intent. If anything I would mock English, as it is the dumbest language and only getting dumber by the day (6-7!)
What's a 'six, five thousand and forty'? I will never get meme culture. 😉! (=😉×(😉-1)×(😉-2)×[…]×3×2×1)
Hahaha thank you for the explanation! German talking me was like, what is wrong with beamer?!
FYI, Beamers are also Mercedes Benz
