A German word for Heyo

[Brickjectivity]

Füßenbild

I was looking at @Heyo 's thread and it occurred to me that English did yet not have a very potent word which specifically referred to pictures of feet, but if we all adopted this word it might just catch on.

Well? How about it?

Too much keyboard effort required. And I don't get the feet thing, so I'd give it the boot.

Someone may have a foot fetish. I never got that one.

I was going to try making up a word but decided I'd either sound racist or like an old episode of Hogans Heroes.

That's grammatically a horrible construct that makes no sense.

@Heyo ’s avatar ist der Fussfenster

 

[Flankerl]

*das Fußfenster

*das Fußfenster

That’s what I said. Der die das….blah blah blah. I thought Germans were supposed to be efficient. Use one “the” word, dammit!
Plus, would we be using the ‘fuss’ or the ‘fenster’ part of the word as the determinant, or does the creation of a new word warrant it’s own ‘the’ word?


What about Zehenklingel? Or is that too risqué?

Since a new word is usually a compound of already known words it uses one of their articles.

In this case it's the one of Fenster.
Das Fenster
Der Fuß

Compare it to "Kellerfenster".
Basement window.

It's "das Kellerfenster" because the defining word is Fenster and not Keller.
If it was Keller it'd be "der Kellerfenster".

I can't even explain it because as a native speaker you simply know the right answer.


Actual dissent only exists with entirely newly created words like "Nutella".
For me everything that isn't "das Nutella" sounds completely horrendous but for others it's "der Nutella" and they are mentally handicapped and need to be taken care of.

 

[Heyo]

While it's cool to have ones own song, this one is awful. Awful pop music and they pronounce my name wrong (it's an "i" sound like in pie).

Deutsche Sprache, schwere Sprache; drei Artikel vor einem Wort: dass die der Teufel hole.

stinkende Füße

 

[Heyo]

stinkende Füße

Only that my feet don't smell. They are permanently vented - unlike those which are locked in and can develop the odour.

Then what about dreckige Füße

 

[dybmh]

this one is awful.

I know, totally. It made me laugh.

It's a great pleasure to meet you, the most honorable, Hie-yoh. *bows*
