I remember being at Oktoberfest 2008. There was a hill behind the Hofbrau tent, which people passed out on for naps on like this. I mean dozens of people. Unfortunately, other people also used trees on the same hill as auxiliary bathrooms. The urine rivers from dozens of people peeing would make its way down the hill and end up soaking several passed out people laying in the grass. It was like a big plinko game, only with people and piss.

[–]Rompwho 79 points80 points ago

Well there is a lot of humping on that hill too.

[–]orthag 77 points78 points ago

Hey! No humping in the piss plinko field!

[–]KimJongIlSunglasses 18 points19 points ago

Well, add semen to the mix.

[–]TheNev 16 points17 points ago

Would have to be copious amounts of semen to flow downhill through grass.

[–]McUsername69 26 points27 points ago

Was at the Hofbrau tent last Saturday and did both of those. Why'd you have to piece it together for me...

[–]landofderp 23 points24 points ago

It's like this every year. We call this hill "Dichterwiese" which means " poets field".

[–]Kira_kappuke-ki 44 points45 points ago

[–]nervez 9 points10 points ago

Lost it at "plinko game". Thanks for making everyone in the lunch room at work stare at me. More than normal.

[–]bananagrabber83 702 points703 points ago

I believe that these are what you would call 'Bierleichen'?

[–]ulyssanov 594 points595 points ago

Yes, that's exactly what they're called.

For english speakers: Bierleiche literally means "Beer corpse". You don't actually have to be dead to qualify though, just almost.

[–]UnnecessaryPhilology 944 points945 points ago

Bierleiche, as a calque into English, would be rendered as beerlich (videogamers, D&D fans, and readers of Middle English literature may recognize 'lich'). Beercorpse would be another approximate.

The German bier, as well as the English 'beer,' enjoys a significant debate within scholarship. Watkins believe the name comes from Vulgar Latin biber "drink," from the earlier Latin verb bibere "to drink." Oxford dons think the word comes from Proto-Germanic *beurom "barley." I count at least four more proposed etymons, but I'm getting tired of listing all the hypotheses.

The German leiche, as well as the English 'lich,' stem from Proto-Germanic *likom "corpse" or "body." Old English also had a varietal liche which could mean "corpse" or "man." The original sense of likom was probably "form" or "shape," because likom has given us the English word like as well. Lich and like and leiche come from the same word? Crazy talk!

[–]Delfishie 144 points145 points ago

I love you so much. You make learning fun.

[–]Blacksheep01 54 points55 points ago

That wasn't unnecessary, that was awesome! I love philology and I took German in college so I found this absolutely fascinating. Good work!

[–]Clewin 24 points25 points ago

One more German idiom to add to my knowledge base (I'm a so-so German speaker, but much better since I started working for a German company). The last one was Milchgesicht (which I translate to milk visage, but it means baby face).

[–]minimarx 6 points7 points ago

You should also add: "Holz vor die Hütte". Idiomatically, it means a woman with a great, as in large, set of boobicles. Literally, it means "Wood in front of the hut".

[–]legitimategrapes 10 points11 points ago

Damn. And I barely speak English

[–]chickpea23 18 points19 points ago

I love this novelty account!

[–]cgibson6 6 points7 points ago

[–]emocol 25 points26 points ago

[–]P1r4nha 7 points8 points ago

Or Tokyo.. I was shocked even the fourth time I went there.

[–]newbeginnings01 5 points6 points ago

Korea is the winner in this one. Unfortunately, they are also the winner in the category of alcohol abuse and spousal abuse. :(

[–]bananagrabber83 60 points61 points ago

I don't even speak German, but I have been to Oktoberfest. Oh yes, I have been there...

[–]beergoggles69 113 points114 points ago

Me neither and me too!

See rides "Why the fuck would you go on rides at a beer festival?"

Eight steins later "Let's go on the fuckin RIDES!!!!"

[–]Pool_Shark 12 points13 points ago

When the cab driver dropped me and my friend off our first reaction was to tell him that we were in the wrong place. He just laughed at us and said "You're not the first Americans to say that".

[–]jasontimmur 26 points27 points ago

You know what's really neat, in my country, they'd all be criminals!

[–]H0nkeyKong 6 points7 points ago

In my country too. (USA)

[–]snowmanspike[S] 1052 points1053 points ago

Bit of context: This was at 02:40am, Munich Hauptbahnhof. Last train has left, the next one is at about 05:00am.

[–]ErichUberSonic 570 points571 points ago

My dad told me to tell the teacher "Ich verstand nur bahnhof" (I only understand train station?) on my first day of German class. I never did it, but always wondered why he would have me use that phrase. Is it slang for something else?

Edit, danke.

[–]snowmanspike[S] 1406 points1407 points ago

Deutsch: "Ich verstehe nur Bahnhof" // English: "I don't understand jack shit"

[–]tekkentuesdays 416 points417 points ago

Genius

[–]ooo0ooo 119 points120 points ago

Given his name, "ErichUberSonic" I think he was lying, but for a joke, a good cause.

[–]Claypool2112 67 points68 points ago

How is just having "Uber" in a name make him know German? Plenty of people who don't know German use it.

[–]Alofat 73 points74 points ago

The combination of Erich and Uber is what makes it so suspicious.

[–]twhitson 46 points47 points ago

Or maybe he's learned German since that time?

[–]cyanoacrylate 125 points126 points ago

on my first day of German class

Assuming there were subsequent days of German after the first, this is an eminently reasonable idea.

[–]utnow 54 points55 points ago

Except that he still apparently doesn't know enough German to read the line...

[–]TMorston 224 points225 points ago

its based on the announcements at train stations being notoriously hard to hear and understand, so even germans would say "ich verstehe nur bahnhof" meaning they only heard that the announcer said something about some station or another. now it has a broader meaning.

[–]blackbasset 160 points161 points ago

I'm german and I've never made that connection. Thanks!

[–]quaste 38 points39 points ago

German here, too, but TIL...

[–]ProfChaos 60 points61 points ago

I found this on the internets. Don't know if it's true, but it seems to make sense. However, so does the announcement theory

This German expression stems from World War I when the train was the main transportation of the day. For German soldiers fed up with a much longer than anticipated war, the train station became a symbol for the return back home. Therefore a soldier hoping to soon return safely back home would say "ich verstehe nur noch Bahnhof', meaning he really didn't care about much else than to go home.

[–]frululu 17 points18 points ago

Now it even makes sense grammatically. I'm sold.

[–]UESPA_Sputnik 28 points29 points ago

That's not true. As far as I know the phrase was coined near the end of World War I. When talking to soldiers they would reply "Ich verstehe nur Bahnhof" because the train station symbolized their way back to home, and they only wanted to hear the news that they could go back home.

[–]Barimbino 56 points57 points ago

Troll dad strikes again, years later...

[–]ErichUberSonic 18 points19 points ago

Ahh yes, that was it! Thank you, troll dad mystery: solved.

[–]Shikari94 15 points16 points ago

It means "I don't understand". That's all about it.

[–]HiveMindNotMe 22 points23 points ago

Nah actually it is: ich verstehe nur Bahnhof. The meaning is: i have no idea what you are talking about.

[–]Atheist_Smurf 157 points158 points ago

Eins, zwei, drei saufen!!! Lass die Kotze mal laufen!

[–]kolm 59 points60 points ago

You forced my hand.

German, but just listen in, you'll get the hang of it.

[–]Jackyyy 14 points15 points ago

I have no idea what he was saying, but I fucking lost it when the old guy goes "yeah"

[–]InsertOffensiveName 10 points11 points ago

Otto Waalkes is an epic german comedian who was especially popular in the 90ies. In the song he is quickly naming all kinds of alcoholic drinks and rhyming them. The refrain then goes i.a.: "We have reason to drink. Our last will is to increase per mille." A genius. (Now he is still somewhat popular for his incredible dubbing of Sith in the Ice Age films.)

[–]Vpicone 74 points75 points ago

Google translate yields:

One, two, three, drink! Do not run the vomit times!

[–]Deaod 134 points135 points ago

One, two, three chug! Let the vomit flow!

[–]thatissomeBS 5 points6 points ago

Yes, yes, let the vomit flow through you.

[–]TahsinTekin 65 points66 points ago

I speak german;

One, two, three, drink! Let the vomit flow/run!

It sounds retarded in english, in german it rhymes.

[–]Citizen_Kong 191 points192 points ago

It's retarded in German, as well.

im pretty sure i was passed out right where the guy in the white shirt is the one night i was in munich and there were no hostels for whatever reason...brings back memories

[–]thirdfounder 11 points12 points ago

at this point I would not bother going home. just wait until it starts up again.

[–]GKworldtour 10 points11 points ago

10am the next day.

[–]BloodOven 21 points22 points ago

Isn't 2:40am a bit too early to be sleeping during a beerfest?

[–]snowmanspike[S] 215 points216 points ago

You start drinking at 11 in the afternoon...Let's see when you get tired.

EDIT: *in the morning (Doh!)

[–]drowe531 33 points34 points ago

I was there last year, it was rare we would make it to 10pm.

[–]dooleysdacrazy 76 points77 points ago

You mean 11 in the morning I believe.

[–]qtl 128 points129 points ago

If you're drunk enough, you started drinking at 11 in the afternoon.

[–]polutrapans 4 points5 points ago

right next to the burger king...

[–]Rompwho 75 points76 points ago

So you work in the upper Burger King at Munich Grand Central Station?

[–]snowmanspike[S] 77 points78 points ago

No. I don't flip burgers. Thank god.... You're getting warmer though.

[–]jemjenk 168 points169 points ago

Warmer than flipping burgers... are you a firefighter?

[–]deadsoon 5 points6 points ago

Oh, a welder!

[–]sucknack 46 points47 points ago

Nachtschicht am Stachus Klo?

For all people not from Munich, 5 minutes walk from the main train station (where this picture has been taken) there is Karlsplatz, also known as Stachus which was/is famous for its gay prostitution scene in its public toilets.

[–]snowmanspike[S] 39 points40 points ago

I've lived here for 12 years and I didn't know that. How did you come about this knowledge?

[–]sucknack 60 points61 points ago

I used to work there!

No, not Stachus, but close to Hauptbahnhof and we always joked about doing shifts there to make some more dough.

Not a male prostitute in that sense ... working IT, so still a lot of anal stuff going on.

[–]fuzzydice_82 16 points17 points ago

[–]PredictionBoom 24 points25 points ago

Ah, Munich in late september. Nothing like hopping into a commuter train filled with pools of vomit to get home from work. Only two hours left until the next round... sigh

[–]wilforeilly 110 points111 points ago

My little brother and the rest of the University College London Medics Rugby Team are there with the rule that they aren't allowed to sleep under cover at any point. So if you see a blonde, drunk Englishman asleep on some grass, give him a kick in the ribs from me.

[–]atrich 203 points204 points ago

Yeah, kick a sleeping, drunken, rugby player in the ribs. O.O

[–]wilforeilly 30 points31 points ago

he's my brother. I'm sanctioning it. Only a gentle wake-up. Not a proper bone-cruncher. I am quite fond of the (not so) little guy

[–]Kdnce 52 points53 points ago

Oh, it's okay then. I didn't realize he would recognize me from Reddit, and vice versa.

[–]Dankulus 24 points25 points ago

This is the perfect time to dress up like Jesus and walk around handing out water and grilled cheese.

[–]apple-jacks 46 points47 points ago

One of my favorite memories from studying in Austria is the train ride to Munich for Oktoberfest. We left around 7am, and with every stop more and more men in lederhosen hopped on the train, most already drunk. By the time we arrived in Munich the train was full, and it felt like one big party. Everyone was excited and cheering when we pulled into the train station. It was almost as much fun as Oktoberfest!

[–]isocline 14 points15 points ago

That sounds amazing. I'm putting Oktoberfest on my list of things to do.

[–]potently-potable 8 points9 points ago

Holy shit I'm studying in Austria right now and that's exactly my situation for tomorrow. CAN NOT WAIT

[–]TehSkiff 3 points4 points ago

I stayed in Augsburg when I went to Oktoberfest, about an hour away by train. I caught a train around 10AM, and had absolutely no idea what I was getting into.

Standing room only (with a number of stops to go before we got to Munich), dirndls and lederhosen everywhere, and 90% of the train was drunk.

God, I want to go back!

[–]Alianthos 78 points79 points ago

When I went to Oktoberfest 3 years ago, I drank 8 pints the first night and ate a whole grilled chicken with my bare fingers.

I remember nothing after the chicken except waking up on the backseats of a car parked outside of Munich.

Awesome.

Edit : also i had minus 100€ in my wallet the next day. I guess it fits with 8 pints and 1 whole chicken.

[–]Shurikane 60 points61 points ago

Wait. 8 pints or 8 Maß?

[–]Ryanair 19 points20 points ago

8 maß would be 8 litres or 16 bottles of beer or also nearly 16 pints if I'm not totally wrong. That's... not bad actually.

[–]Shurikane 23 points24 points ago

It seems feasible considering this happened at the hotel when I was speaking to the receptionist before leaving:

Him: "Had a good week in Munich?"

Me: "Hell yeah! I set a record on my first day: 5 maß of beer.

Him: "That's not too bad for a foreigner."

Me: "Huh?!"

Him: "Last year, I did 8 maß in one day."

[–]Kdnce 2 points3 points ago

I struggle to get 2-3 liters of water down a day. I think this festival would be my nightmare.

It looks like the guy on right in a red shirt is wearing the 'cheapo' starter kit from Angermaier. I bought the exact same one last Saturday.

I hope a local would have better lederhosen ;)

Well, the people responsible are clearly drunk.

[–]_moerk 48 points49 points ago

They pushed it up many years ago because of the bad weather in October

[–]flying-sheep 3 points4 points ago

now it’s in the “Wiesnhoch” (oktoberfest anticyclone): we almost always have bad weather before and after the wiesn, and good weather during it.

[–]Wonderful_Life 336 points337 points ago

That is what Oktoberfest is all about, to celebrate the new beer brewing season that starts in October.

[–]ooh_lawd 252 points253 points ago

I believe it was started to celebrate the wedding of King Ludwig I. And it used to be in October, but they moved it earlier to have better weather.

[–]ExquisitePriide 156 points157 points ago

Get your facts off my internet lawn!

[–]UsernameIsTekken 94 points95 points ago

Erm, no. It's a wedding party was so great they decided to hold it every year.

[–]FreaXoMatic 20 points21 points ago

I don't know why 1. this is getting downvoted but this guy is right

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oktoberfest

[–]pede83 3 points4 points ago

sorry, the Munic Oktoberfest may have started as a wedding party, but Wonderful_Life is totally right. as brewing was not allowed during summer because of fire hazards in Germany (and elsewhere), a special strong beer was brewed in March - the Märzen - it was stronger and would not spoil for a long time. before new beer was brewed in fall all the old beer was drunken at big parties - this is, where the Oktoberfestivals came from - no matter if in September or October. The Munic one only became the most famous and biggest.

[–]Socky_McPuppet 11 points12 points ago

My one and only time at the Hofbräuhaus, I was with a large group of friends, and during a chorus of "ein Prosit, ein Prosit" I instead started them all singing "I'm loaded, I'm loaded" ...

Good times, good times.

...and they're all Italians.

people are allowed to sleep in malls in germany?

[–]snowmanspike[S] 150 points151 points ago

...it's a train station.

[–]JeffMo 363 points364 points ago

Train stations are allowed to look like malls in Germany?

[–]eScapLaY 54 points55 points ago

Same thing, just with trains. People want to do stuff if they have to wait..

[–]dhaft88 6 points7 points ago

Well that is just too convenient.

[–]Wonderful_Life 31 points32 points ago

Many people here are dependent on trains and use them for commuting. Having shops in the train stations is quite useful for them.

[–]drowe531 11 points12 points ago

Munich's central train station is huge. 4 or 5 floors but it has so many trains, its local trains as well as all the European travel trains that come in.

[–]nof 15 points16 points ago

In the larger cities... yeah.

The Hauptbahnhof in Berlin is fucking awesome.

My friend admitted that his firstborn was made during Oktoberfest. He's been going ever since, but they only have two kids and he's been going for four years, two of them alone.

How do I bring this up?

[–]cdahlkvist 9 points10 points ago

Care to elaborate? Are his kids over/under the age of 4?

What you said makes no sense without more detail.

[–]mgbgtv8 28 points29 points ago

Did they died?

[–]_moerk 55 points56 points ago

Well we call them "Bierleichen" which translates to "Beer corpses" xD

[–]jkd42 61 points62 points ago

Why are Germans the only ones that have awesome words for everything?

[–]greg19735 82 points83 points ago

because their language allows then to just string words together to make awesome new words. In other languages we use "sentences"

[–]pixartist 101 points102 points ago

Wortverkettungsvorteil

[–]polite_alpha 3 points4 points ago

Awesome.

[–]SUPERSMILEYMAN 3 points4 points ago

What'd it say?

[–]Riesich 8 points9 points ago

it says: "word-linking-advantage"

[–]SUPERSMILEYMAN 3 points4 points ago

Awesome.

[–]K__a__M__I 3 points4 points ago

Here's another one: Nichtmuttersprachlerverarsche.

Man, i love my language.

[–]Drevshs 15 points16 points ago

[–]greg19735 5 points6 points ago

That's the short title of the law too.

[–]Duckylicious 3 points4 points ago

Wait what? In English, you get to just put words next to each other randomly, which is way more awesome. Translating these either means the sentence becomes 3 times as long, or it leads to the Donaudampfschifffahrtsgesellschaftsangestelltenbeauftragter type monstrosities.

[–]whileyouwereliving 10 points11 points ago

Yeah, but they woke up again and then died again after a few hours.

[–]Schmiffy 2 points3 points ago

Thats the point where i get fed up and take a taxi home. :)
