It's the double-entrendre club!

I just posted this and it disappeared into the netherworld. Go figure. I'll try again.

Anyway, Dr.Z (with MUCH emphasis on the PUNCTUATION) gave me the heads up on this thread, as I have a list of funny words I saw on signs while on a recent visit to Austria:

Things that sound dirty or implicit:

Hotel Schmelzof (schmells of what?)
Hermannshohl (a giant glacier)
Gotthard
Lech
Filzmoos (I hope the moose enjoyed it)
Hanneshof Hotel (Hands on! Hands off! Hands on, hands off, the Hanneshof!)
Faakhof Hotel
Uberfart (some kind of superhighway?)
Assmanhausen
Feuchtwangen
Titisee ("see" means lake, apparently)

And then there were the ones that just sound funny:

Pramstraller
Modlinger
Hotel Kviknes (Norweigian: they get in-n-out of there quick)
Bad Muenstereifel (I'd hate to be shot by a Muenster)

And then there's the ones which sound funny, are fun to say, but don't really suggest a darn thing:

Harfenwirt
Dinkelsbuhl
Obergurlgferner
Hohenschwangau

There, wasn't that fun?

Oh, and apparently Uhlen-Schmuck means "Jewelry store".

I could be wrong...so if Sven or even Robin could help me out on the translations, that would be GOOT, YA!

Danker
