    Y’all gonna make me look up the German dictionary so I know what verboten means, gawd damn I don’t need no education

    (To be fair it’s interesting that they’d throw a random German word into an English language headline meant for English language readers, especially as it’s the key explanatory word in the headline, and yet it’s one we wouldn’t commonly know. Unlike commonly used non-English words like Information, or Cul-de-sac, Zeitgeist, Kaput, or Baguette, we - to my knowledge - haven’t used the word verboten before over here).

    So yeah, I had to Google translate it xD But now I know! Woo!
