German?

[Heyo]

YES! The first is a brilliant term, sorely in need of an English equivalent: a clip-round-the-ear face, or something.

In fact, in Kingsley Amis's "The Old Devils", there is a character who has just such a face, being described as "just begging for a smart clip round the ear".

Just adopt the German word, it wouldn't be the first.

I used to travel on an inter rail card as a student in the 70s. What amused me was the way the multilingual notices were phrased: Nicht hinauslehnen. vs. E pericoloso sporgersi. Clearly you could expect a German to obey orders, whereas an Italian had to be persuaded, by being gently warned of the danger.

Keine Gegenstände aus dem Fenster werfen.

That was quite usual, especially in Italy.
