I was in Germany for Christmas a while back and confused sauber with zauber. I though it was very weird that Germans were obsessed with the cleanliness of Christmas.

"Matschepampe" isn't very common or maybe only in certain areas. I could only imagine parents using it speaking with very young children..

I am German and got "Die Sendung mit der Maus" wrong for years. XD I memorized the title before being able to read, and the show was always broadcast at noon (Mittag), so it made totally sense to me to understand "Die Sendung Mittag-Maus". It wasn't until secondary school that another student made me aware of that mistake.

Today I' m going to watch Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenputzel 😁 (and Sissi obviously).
Really like Witzbeutel as well.
Never heard of Matschepampe before, I only used them as two different words. Matsche is more like mud and Pampe ist something you could eat e.g. a thick soup. A good example for Pampe is the dish Wurstebrei. I think it's disgusting even before I became a vegetarian.

It's very cute how you pronounce German words.
I have a Polish background and I used to pronounce the word Benzin wrong. I said Bencin. Only one college corrected me, otherwise I wouldn't have noticed it.

Witzbeutel is a lovely word. I think i will use it from now on! Oh, and Büdchen must be a local term. I only say Kiosk.

[iqui]

What the hack is Büdchen. I am german I don't know this Word.

[fzoid]

Matschepampe.. one word.
It's more a childish description of anything muddy.. mud outside after rain but also any mashed food.

In school a friend pronounced born as burnt. "The day I was burnt."
Another friend of mine works in a shop and they also sell shoes and offer to make them more waterproof. To make them more waterproof means in German "Schuhe imprägnieren". Customers who doesn't speak German, she asked in english when thry bought shoes: "Do you want an impregnation?" 😂

Dana, when you say "Büdchen", "Bübchen", then many of us are hearing "Büdschen", "Bübschen". You are suffering from a mild case of Rhineland dialect here 😉

[krumelmonsterchen]

Das gedauert, bis ich gemerkt hab, dass Nummer 2 Matschepampe sein soll 😂😂😂
Als Beispiel: Sand und Wasser zusammen ist Matschepampe, aber mein Bruder und ich haben früher ohne Rezept Kuchen gebacken, das war auch immer Matschepampe 😅 Alles, was dreckig und irgendwie schlammig ist.

Witzbeutel sollte man wirklich übernehmen, das find ich super 😊

[berndschmidt]

Matsche is ok.
Matsch is ok.
Pampe is ok.
Matschepampe is more for childrens to say.

In Austria our counterpart for is "Gatsch" (the "a" is long said). 🙂

I love that word.

[wjhann]

Come on Dana - that's totally normal- once learnt wrong - sticks nearly forever 😏
For me "Matschepampe" is a word from children's language (or: mummies?). I don't believe you find it in a regular dictionary.

[ullihoffmann]

Witzbeutel and Aschenputzel are such funny words, I will use them from now on 😀.

[muiggmuigg]

zu 1: Ich kenne "Windbeutel"... :-)
und what is a "Bundesbüdchen"? - did you maybe mean "buntes Büdchen"?

[smu]

Dang, Matchepampe had me laugh out loud :D
Witzbeutel is awesome, we should MAKE it a word! :D Actually, I think I have heard it before, but it's definitely really rare.

[alexandergutfeldt]

"Matschepampe"? This is the first time I heard that expression.
Here in Switzerland we call it 'pfluddi'.
Learned something!

[woolyvaro]

Okay, I think I'm gonna start saying Witzbeutel now. That's really cute

[TheItalianoAssassino]

Witzbeutel klingt echt irgendwie logisch 🤔

[chrisk]

I think "Witzbold" refers to "Kobold", what is a goblin or gremlin. A Kobold typically pranks people, so a Witzbold pranks by making jokes.
