aber da weis kein Engländer was damit gemeint ist. Das musste ich auch einen erklären

Im trailer zum Film "Wedding Crashers" sagt ein Darsteller "Hm, ein Arschgeweih. Das ist ja fast wie eine schriftliche Einladung!"
Leider hat IMDb noch keine memorable quotes eingestellt, aber vielleicht hat jemand den Film schon auf Englisch gesehen.

www.dict.cc/deutsch-english/a237.php

Hab ich ergoogelt.
Schöner Ausdruck, finde ich :-).

@Karl, Self: The original quote is: "Tattoo on the lower back. Might as well be a bullseye." Since you asked...

Hiwi: "whale tail" - das sind doch diese Früstückstabletts hinten auf den Kofferraumhauben von aufgemotzten "möchtengernschnellerfahrenkönnen"-Autos, von Nichtfachleuten "Spoiler" genannt, oder?

@ Hein: Yes

Actually, I know 'whale tail' only as a g-string that's exposed when the girl/woman sits down or bends over and her pants slide down a tad.

@hein mück: Wie gesagt, hab' ich nur ergooglet und in der oben genannten Quelle wird das als Übersetzung für Arschgeweih angeführt.

Ausserdem ist der Unterschied ja nicht so groß. Ob ich nun als weibliche Person durch Arschgeweih Aufsehen erregen will, oder als männliche Person mit einem Heckspoiler. :-)

Meinen Freund in Kanada (native speaker) kann ich leider noch nicht dazu befragen, etwas zu früh...

...erstaunlich, was man hier lernt... arse antlers, Arschgeweih....what next?

Name the only car that can automatically withdraw its arse antlers at speeds below 75 mph?

@ Baldrick: I know that one too but I was trying not to lower the tone. I assume you use pants in the AE meaning - to me a whale tail is when the trousers are low slung and you can see the top of the G-string pants (BE meaning).

@hein: Dunno, the Batmobile?

Tell us Hein, we' re waiting....

@hattoncote UK: Yes, you say 'trousers', I say 'pants', you say 'pants', I say 'panties', you say 'either', I say...ah, doesn't work... ;-)

hattoncote, how can you worry about the tone in a discussion of "Arschgeweih"?
do people other than German hairdressers actually have them, by the way? It got its derogatory name in Germany because more and more definitely uncool people were suddenly sporting them, is that the same in English-speaking countries?

Porsche 911

@tanja1: I think those tattoos were first seen in porn movies, not that I know what and how cool that is...

I looked into this thread because I couldn't imagine what an Arschgeweih is. I've seen the things around. At least in Berlin, they are becoming definitly epidemic. But I didn't even know there was a word for it (besides Tattoo am Hintern).

@tanja1: Why hairdressers?

porsche 911 lower the whale tail, arse antlers or whatever ;) at speeds below 75mph

@ CJde, it's probably not true, anyway.
Maybe it is said because "Friseusen" is a synonym for an uncool person (if I come back from the hairdressers' next time with a blonde frizzy perm, I will know for sure that my hairdresser is reading this forum...). They used to be the girlfriends of the Manta-Fahrer in the series of jokes around 5 years ago or so...

@tanja1
hast du ne ahnung was in englischsprachigen laendern noch so alles rumlaeuft!
arschgeweih noch harmlos

And I always though Mantafahrer and their friends though they were cool!
(Isn't everbody "cool" in his/her own eyes and the eyes of their peer-group and hopelessly stupid in the eyes of everybody else?)

@brimi: Was meinst du denn damit?

@baldrick: as told to you by a friend?
@brimi: habe ich! Aber im Freibad war ich da noch nie, wahrscheinlich wegen der schönen schottischen Sommer-oder weil es keine mehr gibt?
@cjde: I know for a fact that language geeks are the epitome of cool, even without tattoos...

@tanja1: Right!! A friend told me that! Right! How could I forget...

@ATWORK
nur so. (siehe CHAVS). mir fiel nur kurz ein, dass die deutschen wieder gleich alles uebel nur bei sich vermuten - in punkto aussehn dann kein wunder dass in england immer noch alle denken die germans haben alle unrasierte achseln und beine fuer die frauen und vokuhila frisuren fuer die maennern.

auch atwork ausserdem

glock: I think I made a mistake. 911s bring out their antlers at 75 mph (120 km/h), but they do not retract until stopping again. This led to some keen coppers in the UK stopping 911s with their antlers out, because they wanted to book them for speeding - the speed limit on British motorways is 70 mph - 112 km/h....

I reckon any political party in Britain that wants to get to power has the best chance by raising the motorway speed limit or abolishing it altogether.

@tanja1:No doubt. http://ars.userfriendly.org/cartoons/?id=20020218

@ hein: My beetle has a spoiler than comes up at 150km/h. What is the point of that?? Luckily, it has a manual override so we can still look cool on British motorways :-)

@Baldrick: Ta for the cunning citation. ;-)
From the fact that the film script doesn't use a standing expression I would deduct that there isn't one for "Arschgeweih".

@Hein: 911 rear spoilers do come in at arround 35 mph.

BTW: G-string plus lower-back tatoo is almost a safe bet, wether in the UK or in Germany.

:D

They didn’t make any more comments nor ever asked any more questions about the afternoon.

Kann man "nor" auf diese weise verwenden? Ist dieser Satz also korrekt?

Yes you can use 'nor'.
However, the sentance does not sound right to me. At the end can you say something like 'about that/his/her afternoon'?
