Was visiting my parents this week and at some point, we were talking about air fryers. Now, we’re German and my parents don’t speak English, but the term “Air Fryer” is still a thing here for marketing bullshit reasons.
Then my mum had to repeatedly try to pronounce that correctly. And I just saw my dad getting more and more confused, because it sounded a lot like “Er Freier”.
“Er” is German for “he”. But a “Freier” is, well, the customer of a prostitute.

Meine Mutter war auch dann doch ziemlich entzaubert, als wir ihr erklärt haben, dass “Air Fryer” wortwörtlich einfach nur “Luft-Fritteuse” bedeutet. 😅
