Your say - Weird words 2p2i2g
Heckenschwein is the new mullet w5r25
When my German nephew (mein Neffe) was younger he had an extremely short hair cut - prickly like a hedgehog! Now 'hedgehog' in German is Igel but as I love messing about with language I thought Heckenschwein sounded more fun! (literally 'hedge pig') :-)

On our last visit, one of my husband's Bavarian cousins joked about the Pulloverschwein . . . calling sheep "sweater pigs".
Well I am German and I love Heckenschwein. Let's see if I can it on.
I like this. I am going to start calling people at school that.
Well this is an interesting one. It arrives at the ear as a much more appropriate word for the dear animal. However as many German words are of long nature, this word would have no problem being absorbed by them. Very good Jon.
I prefer the German version of H.J. Simpsons famous spiderpig, which had been dubbed as Spiderschwein.
