    OP is a prolific poster who has shared they work at a signalling center for the german railway. Hence the “sorry for the (train) delays today”

    Farmers against potatoes is a mobile game

    Oh and tscholigum is supposed to mean Entschuldigung, it’s deliberatly misspelled, like “sorrz” for example

      Thanks! I was watching Mindful Murder some time ago and had the impression that whenever someone said Entschuldigung they were skipping the “En” in it. When I saw “Tscholigum” on OP’s post I thought I could be right about that, but apparently is just a coincidence?

        Tschuligom originated on ebay Kleinanzeigen (platform for classifieds, kinda like Craig’s list or FB Marketplace). Its a reasonable assumption, that it was first used by someone who’s first language is not German and who wrote it down like that. So not that far off.
