Schmetterling

A German, an American, and a Frenchman are having lunch. They are taking turns complimenting the beauty of each other's languages. The American says "I love the delicacy of French! Like your word for butterfly: "papillon". The word "papillon" is so delicate - just like a butterfly!" The Frenchman answers "And I love the playfulness of English: like "butterfly"! It sounds just like a butterfly if you change the letters around: "flutter-by". Such a beautiful word.

There's a long pause while the American and the Frenchman give the German some side-eye. And the German finally says "Und vot ist wrong mit 'Schmetterling'?"

Coco a.k.a. Kathie Schmid

In another pathetic and feeble attempt to get attention, Coco would go on and on about how "busy" and "stressed" she is. First, the bitch does not work. Second, the mongoloid slept well into the afternoon. Third, the wife of Bob (see "stinky finger") would be the first person to cry for help and the last person to provide it.
When Coco cries for help, you better be there or she will have a mongo spaz fit. When Coco is asked for help, god forbid it be during nap time. She used me to basically raise her youngest. I HATE YOU, YOU LAZY BITCH!!!!!!!!!

schmetterling

In English, 'butterfly' sounds warm, and kinda tasty (see 'butternut' and 'butter popcorn'). In French, 'le papillon' sounds, well, typically French and limp-wristed. In German, DER SCHMETTERLING sounds like something that could do you serious damage. It sounds like it would casually flap towards your face, then slap you in it with its 10" schlong. Not to be fucked with.
"Hey man, did you see that schmetterling just now?"
"Yeah, my face still hurts."
