Name my latest Prussian Tank

[The_Beast]

I just finished this beast:

Some of you may have seen the WIP thread on the workbench.

Please help me find a name for it. 

And, here I thought you had named it after me... 

Unfortunately, the first thing that came to mind was the float in the W.C.

What about 'die Brust' ('the breast')?  Punchy and silly at the same time.  And my good woman thinks I've got a one-track mind...

[Hammers]

May I suggest Seiner Majestät Klank 'Knödel'?

[Red Orc]

Apart from Chris's wonderful suggestion of ,,Zankapfel'', my humble suggestion would be ,,Donnerplumps'', which more or less translates to 'Thunderplop', and I'm being told 'torden plask' in Danish, which is more like thunder-splash.

I really wanted to call it 'Thunder Bubble' which is great in English and Danish, but not so much fun in German. Stupid ,,Donner Blase''.

Anything with Knoedeln in is good though. Sorry, can't do umlauts on this forum, I never learned how.

Donnerknödel?

I have a "Kugelblitz" already so perhaps donner is the way to go.

If you make a twin you can call it SMK 'Kloß'.

[Laflin and Rand]

How about Kampfkugel I?

Me neither, which is why I cheat; let someone else do it, and copy-and-paste.

How about  "Die Issen Klöpsken"  ie the Little Iron Meatball?!?!?

[Dr. The Viking]

How about Kampfkugel I?

Plain but I like it! 

Very Prussian. 

[dbsubashi]

I agree that mechanical wonders are very, very VSF, but curry wurst is so...American...

Might I suggest: Die Eiserne Teufelkugel!

[Plynkes]

Currywurst American? How'd you figure that? It's as German as Kraftwerk.

[Red Orc]

No word beginning with a 'C' is really German. Ditto, any word with a 'y' in it I reckon. If it were a real German word it would probably be ,,Kureiwurst'' or something.

Yes I know the German word for 'curry' is ,,Curry'' but that's because it's just the English word (I bet it's ,,Das Curry'').

[Plynkes]

It's the German word for a German invention. That they chose to use a loan word doesn't change that.


You'll be saying next that the quazillion loan words in English aren't really English. Like tea, beef and chav.

Well actually most English words are Danish. Like sky, bread... and other words!


As is most of England. Basta!
