Useful German Party Phrases
Most likely the Germans are not the first nation that comes to mind when talking about party people. The German stereotype is more the workaholic who perhaps takes himself a little too seriously. I still haven’t figured out how the Germans managed to fool the world into believing that they are so conscientious about their work. The fact is that not only do the German’s have a very short working week, but they also enjoy some of the longest holidays in Europe. Why do you think you meet so many Germans when you travel? I can assure you it’s no coincidence. Also now more than ever, young Germans value quality of life above the trappings of climbing the corporate ladder.
It’s true that a popular German pastime is watching their favorite football team and celebrating football victories in style with plenty of freely flowing German beer. The German language has so many funny German phrases to describe having an absolute ball because it’s such a popular national pursuit. One common example is the German phrase “die Sau rauslassen” which means to paint the town red but literally translates as “to let the pig out”. I think you’ll agree this expression does a good job of capturing the spirit of wild parties and the kind of chaos that spreads across the country when the German national team wins big international matches. More useful German phrases for when parties turn to sheer pandemonium are “hier ist die Hölle los” and “die Post geht ab”.
Although almost any excuse will do, more than anything else it’s football victories that trigger the most intense and drawn out celebrations. The German literally party until they drop or in German “Sie feiern bis zum Abwinken”. So the next time you’re on the lookout for a party holiday destination, I can highly recommend visiting Germany – especially if it’s during the football World Cup! Also be sure to learn cool German phrases before you head off to impress the locals.
