New Words for the Day

[c9]

I'd like everyone to try to incorporate these new words into their daily conversations. There's no English equivalent for each, so we're just going to use the originals:

koshatnik (Russian): seller of dead cats

neko-neko (Indonesian): the person whose ideas only make things worse

drachenfutter (German): the guilt-ridden husband who buys a present for his wife, sort of like a kiss-and-make-up gift, but not really because there wasn't a fight between them just his misbehaviour which she found out about.

Your attention in this matter is appreciated.

Edit: Also, steeped.

Neko-neko will be of great help around the office.

This guy was a total neko-neko, but he came across like a drachenfutter, or when he was at his worst, like a koshatnik. Oy.

:-)

How's that?

Good work.

I think selling dead cats is an idea that will only make things worse.

And giving one as a gift to your wife because she found out about some misbehaviour will DEFINITELY make things worse.

Entire reason for the edit. :)
