Dear List members,

I remember hearing my Sadagura/CZ mother say an expression in German and laugh at it. For years I have been wondering if any one knew this expression. Then in today's postings, Andrew Malmay used the words "Pukel 'runter rutchen", then Cornel Fleming used the words "mir den puckel runterrutschen", then Hardy used the words "Den Buckel herunterrutschen". These words served as a memory jogger.

I do not wish to offend anyone with what I am about to repeat. I do not speak German, so I am writing this phonetically. I believe at least part of the expression my mother laughed at was "Kish mir un puckel Schteigen herunterrutschen un tsunga bremsen". The part of her translation that I seem to remember went something like this: climb on my shoulders, then slide down my back and on your way down stick out your tongue (as you pass over my rear)to brake yourself.

Is anyone familiar with the actual entire expression, and if so, could you please write it in German and then translate into English.

The second thing I remember is part of a children's rhyme song my mother used to sing. It went something like this: "Ein Hund cum en die kicher, lah lah, lah lah, lah lah". I am using lah lah as a rhythmic substitute for missing words. My mother's translation was something like this "a dog came in the kitchen and ate the food, so the dog was hit over the head with a wooden spoon" or something like that. Does anyone know this song. If so, could you kindly email me the words in German and translate into English.

If the actual translation of either of the above would, in your opinion, be offensive to anyone, then in deference to our esteemed moderator, could you please respond to me off-list

Thank you,
Gary Rogovin
