    Hey can you mark a porcelain figure of a woman and a chicken?
    “Sure, old ladies love-“
    Yeah but the chicken needs a gaping asshole.

    I have chickens and have seen this meme before, but it’s been years and I think I threw out my back laughing at it again.

    Thanks bud.

    I was told that my great-grandma used to do exactly this, to check wether an egg was “in the pipeline”…

      We even have a regional word from that: “Entenklemmer”, which translates verbatim to “duck pincher”.

      Some folks when leaving their ducks out of the enclosure, they’d check each duck for an egg in said pipeline. If there was one, they wouldn’t let that duck out, because well, they wanted that egg.

      So, an Entenklemmer is a scrooge, someone going to great lengths to not miss out on even tiny profits.

          Crispy would be knusprig.

          Knusper could mean a couple of things.

          It could be a conjugated form of the verb “knuspern”, which means eating something crispy.

          Knusper itself is also used in an entirely different context to express that someone is weird or has mental problems. Then you could say someone is not knusper or “nicht ganz knusper”.

            It can also be onomatopoeia for eating something crispy. So, imagine a comic where a hamster is nibbling away at a cracker, then above that can be written:

            *Knusper* *Knusper*

            (basically *Crunch* *Crunch*)

            But yeah, thanks for the rest of the explanation. I chose this username essentially at random when signing up here, but it’s been growing on me. Just a fun word in our language.
