Daubner

“Daubner” or 'Daubnerin' are German terms for a person who does usually embarrassing things so confidently that they appear admirable or cool. A Daubner or Daubnerin transforms a potential for embarrassment into respect by acting authentically yet without trying to appear decidedly cool.

The noun “Daubner/Daubnerin” and the corresponding verb “daubnern” go back to the German newsreader Susanne Daubner. Daubner reads out the contestants for the German youth word of the year since 2021. She recites words that are potentially embarassing so professionally that her reading has become a performance, eagerly awaited by the online community every year.

German:

"Daubner" oder "Daubnerin" sind Bezeichnungen für eine Person, die üblicherweise peinliche Dinge so souverän tut, dass sie dabei bewunderswert bzw. cool wirkt. Ein Daubner oder eine Daubnerin (auch Daubinator/Daubinatorin) verwandelt ein Potential zur Fremdscham in Respekt, indem er oder sie authentisch agiert, ohne dabei dezidiert cool wirken zu wollen.

Das Nomen "Daubner/Daubnerin" und das zugehörige Verb "daubnern" gehen zurück auf die deutsche Nachrichtensprecherin Susanne Daubner. Daubner verliest seit 2021 die Kandidaten bei der Wahl zum deutschen Jugendwort des Jahres. Sie rezitiert Worte, die außerhalb des Mundes von Teenagern das Potential zur Peinlichkeit bergen, stets professionell. Daubners Verlesen der Worte wurde zu einer Performance, welche jährlich von der Netzgemeinschaft mit Spannung erwartet wird.
“Did you see how Marvin tripped in the canteen and fell face first onto his plate of mashed potatoes and gravy? "
“Nah, that's crazy!”
“Yes, everyone laughed, but Marvin got up without saying a word and walked on with his face full of cream sauce as if nothing had happened.”
“What a daubner!”

German:

"Hast du gesehen, wie Marvin in der Kantine gestolpert ist und mit dem Gesicht voran auf seinen Teller Kartoffelpürree mit Sauce geklatscht ist? "
"Nee, krass!"
"Ja, alle haben gelacht, aber Marvin ist, ohne ein Wort zu sagen, aufgestanden und mit dem Gesicht voller Rahmsauce erhobenen Hauptes weitergegangen, als wäre nichts passiert."
"Was für ein Daubner!"
