    zum Lachen in den Keller gehen

    Kontext/ Beispiele
    Nachdem ich einige Wochen in diesem Forum mitgelesen habe, verstaerkt sich in mir die Ansicht, dass einige der Teilnehmer zum Lachen am liebsten in den Keller gehen.

    This describes the attitude of a person unable to take whatever he/she is doing with the necessary portion of (detached) humour, as this might (Buddha forbid!) convey the impression that they and their doings are not ENTIRELY serious and important.

    (I've been looking for the corresponding expression in English for some time already, so please take the example with - eh - the necessary amount of (detached) humour.)

    I have to disagree slightly. I think this describes a person who does not like to show his feelings or is unable to do so. Even in a hilariously funny situation which makes everybody laugh (including the person who does not show emotions) , he or she would go away, so that nobody sees him or her laugh, i.e. show feelings. Sorry, but I cannot think of an English equivalent at the moment.

    Salisbury, please allow me to disagree with your disagreement. The instances when I heard the phrases, it was always related to humour, never to feelings in general. Maybe our experiences are just different on that matter.

    It is Salisbury who gets my back up since my perception of the term is identical.

    Well, I agree that this saying mainly refers to humour - or the lack of it (as expressed by the German "lachen"), but I think a person who cannot even laugh out loud lacks emotions full stop.

    I tend to agree, but that's conjecture or interpretation. Not translation.

    Two possible expressions that spring to mind are "someone who takes himself/herself too seriously" and, colloquially, "someone who has had a sense of humour bypass (by-pass)".

    Hope I don't appear to be eine, die zum Lachen am liebsten in Keller geht by pointing out the hyphenated version of "bypass" ;-)

    @penguin: useful site - thanks!

    Oops, in DEN Keller. (Please be gentle with me - it is Sunday after all).

    No worries, correct hyphenating has nothing to do with lacking a sense of humour. Particularly not on a site like this. I was more referring to some persons' reactions in some of the threads that are more - well - sensitive in terms of political or other correctness.

    Cheers all!

    These and the above mean that they are disapproving of laughter, or are miserable, and so spoil everyone's fun.


    be a sourpuss / grump

    These mean that they are generally miserable-looking

    I agree with Salisbury. The term is often used for managers who believe they must distance themselves from office jokes etc. It's the opposite of 'wearing one's heart on their sleeve' and refers to a forced supression of emotion in public.
