And Mr Pike, is presentable, indeed!Inexplicable DeVicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04187364843729214996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17645685.post-55560227132015665332019-04-07T12:41:11.441+01:002019-04-07T12:41:11.441+01:00Jack ?

No, sorry, I have no business with Mr Daniels for a ages now.<br /><br />I startpaged "doller Hecht" and the first was <a href="https://www.kochbar.de/rezept/407504/Fangfrischer-Hecht-in-Folie-gegrillt.html" rel="nofollow">this site</a> - a recipe for grilled pike.<br />Nobody wants to grill Mr Pike, that's for sure.<br /><br />Yes it is a misbegotten play on words. "Pike" translates as "Hecht", as you correctly identified.<br />"Toll" - translations <a href="https://www.dict.cc/?s=toll" rel="nofollow">here</a> - means "great", "awesome" etcetc. <i>Ein doller Hecht</i> is a, slightly ironic, impressive person, often self-proclaimed. The already linked <i>dictionaire</i> translates "toller Hecht" as "stunner" ; the soft "d" brakes the seriousness of the claim a bit.<br />BTW, as Franconian I have to warn you about these softifications : It is a cruel joke of Mrs Nature, but we do change "t" for "d", "p" for "b" ; so if you should it ever hear spoken, it might be a little confusing, but it is for other German speaking people ( = the bloody rest) too.<br />No worries IDV, I just saied that Mr Pike is presentable.63magohttp://63mago.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17645685.post-79682394971393485812019-04-06T15:38:56.131+01:002019-04-06T15:38:56.131+01:00I must admit, hairy Spock gave me a bit of a surpr...I must admit, hairy Spock gave me a bit of a surprise, but the beard has grown on me (well, not on me, exactly, but you know what I mean).<br /><br />I tried looking up "doller Hecht". I found that Hecht = Pike, but doller seems to be a surname, Daniels? Googling both words together brings up an origami flower (folder out of a Dollar bill) designed by Stephen Hecht. What does it all mean?Inexplicable DeVicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04187364843729214996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17645685.post-32488694978193253682019-04-06T15:16:40.313+01:002019-04-06T15:16:40.313+01:00New Spock ?
