just found out the German word for "worst-case scenario". It's "Gau".

I think that's great. So short! So concise! And so very German.

Admittedly, it's a acronym of the full phrase, which is "groesster anzunehmender Unfall". But I think they say "Gau" in place of that, because it's shorter and awesome. And it rhymes with "cow".

Gym time! then class.

what the hell? that's a weird comment... anyway, thanks for the german word of the day. I'll know what to say if I get lost and lose my bags and end up in Siberia.
