  I’m wondering if they got France and Germany mixed up. I don’t remember all the French I was taught growing up, but it didn’t sound right. So I googled it and got “droigts” and “orteils” for “fingers” and “toes”.

    German has “Finger” and “Zehen”

      Yes, but why do we say “Fußzeh” there aren’t any other “Zehen” on the body, right?

        I don’t think I have ever heared anyone say “Fußzeh”. Maybe it’s regional?

        Never heard or said “Fußzeh” before.

    Both “orteils” and “doigts de pied” are used in French, the former sounding less childish than the latter.

      The same language where ninety-two is “four twenties and a twelve”?

        Just four twenty twelve, that’s enough. We’re not savages.

        Ninety two is nine ten two anyway, it’s not that far off.
