Achtung!

Had no idea that Tor meant goal.

The only reason I remembered that it was gate or door was because of the Brandenburg gate was the Brandburger Tor.

 

My HS German teacher was also the soccer coach.

I think "Tor" was one of the first German words I learned outside of "Hogan's Heroes."

 

Next beer in New Ulm is on me...

 

And I'll hold you to that.

 

Who're you calling a dick?

 

And I think the "1." is the German format for ordinal numbers. So it might be "First goal scored with penis shot." Quite a milestone, I'm sure.

 

Junk --
Here's Mr. Clemens on German nouns:

In German, all the Nouns begin with a capital letter. Now that is a good idea; and a good idea, in this language, is necessarily conspicuous from its lonesomeness. I consider this capitalizing of nouns a good idea, because by reason of it you are almost always able to tell a noun the minute you see it. You fall into error occasionally, because you mistake the name of a person for the name of a thing, and waste a good deal of time trying to dig a meaning out of it. German names almost always do mean something, and this helps to deceive the student. I translated a passage one day, which said that "the infuriated tigress broke loose and utterly ate up the unfortunate fir forest" (Tannenwald). When I was girding up my loins to doubt this, I found out that Tannenwald in this instance was a man's name.
Every noun has a gender, and there is no sense or system in the distribution; so the gender of each must be learned separately and by heart. There is no other way. To do this one has to have a memory like a memorandum-book. In German, a young lady has no sex, while a turnip has. Think what overwrought reverence that shows for the turnip, and what callous disrespect for the girl."

 

i think it depends on the size...

 

Size doesn't matter, dammit!

 

That was great.

 

Tor is one of the only German words I know. Used to have a FIFA game for N64, and you could play with the announcers doing the game in English, German or Spanish. I remember the TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRR call for goals. I couldn't figure out where the bathroom is or order any food in German, but I could call a soccer game, damnit!!

 

I think, loosely translated it's:

"I wouldn't hit it."
