  The Hungarian word for turtles (both land and sea one) translates to “frog with a bathtub”

      Also in Dutch. It’s “schildpad”.

        German gets too much credit for compound nouns. Dutch is really good at it as well: bromfiets, snelweg, etc.

    Hungary is a silly place. The bathtub is upside down then.

      Actually… not bathtub, more like trough.

      Still upside down. But imagine you had to carry a trough on your back. Which way would you turn it?

  But what about the one in the US Senate? Surely we can throw that one into the ocean. No?

    Those ones belong in a pond, preferably in a Tesla.
