In 1963, the name of KS-Maschinenbau was replaced by Putzmeister, which
means "master of mortar" in German.

Becoming a Yiddish insult doesn't disqualify a word from standard German.
"Family jewels" hasn't corrupted "jewels", and Dick and Peter are still
acceptable names.

Yes, although certain combinations should probably be avoided. For example,
if your last name is Head or Liss, naming your son Richard might make middle
school a bit more difficult..


Or if your last name is Liss..naming the boy Head really would give him
a challenge....

Helza, good name for a German Girl.

But trying to convince Mr Poppin that in America, "nicht so
stimpt".

Go not to the Net for answers, for it will tell you Yes and no. And
you are a bloody fool, only an ignorant cretin would even ask the

does it take to change a lightbulb.
