That last one was is not a mistranslation - it's dead serious! German journalists are allowed to say and write "fuck" 😂 "Fick" is the German translation for fuck, by the way, and considered highly offensive and inappropriate, which is why Germans resort to its English counterpart (apparently it's less offensive and more appropriate) 🤷🏻♀️
Really? I had no idea - just shows you what a terrible language learner I am after 3 years in Austria! I must keep my ears open for uses of fick/fuck. What about that first example from ORF which says 'Live Ficker'? What would that be in German?
I have no idea how that happened 😂 It should actually be live 'ticker' - as in news ticker - I don't know how that became live fucker?! Maybe an intern messing (or fucking?! 😄) around, thinking they'd be funny, changed the "t" in ticker to an "f" and then some kind of automatic translation went awry in the background, changing "fick" to "fuck"?! 😂
A live fucker is something I would expect to encounter in certain areas of Amsterdam 😅
