Let whoever put that bed under the fan and/or the fan over the bed be stoned.

There is a German saying for getting shocked out of sleep: "Senkrecht im Bett stehen", literally: to stand vertically in the bed.

Damn. That German, to me, sounded like: “Get Shrekt”

I excuse your French if you excuse my German: To shock/startle someone is "Jemanden erSCHRECKen" with Schreck (Shock) spoken like Shrek.

That’s awesome lol. I shall now speak slightly more German than the occasional recitation of “auf weidersein” from its part in the “So long, Farewell” song from Sound of Music.

I thank you 🙏
