Mag sein, dass man das im Englischen so sagt, aber im Deutschen nicht.

For an explicit meaning, the phrase means "commit fellatio on me" or "suck my dick". "COmmit fellatio on me" is an over-precise term that no one would actually say, but it does convey the meaning. "Suck my dick" is a common term, used in a similar way to "blow me" - also vulgar.

Entspricht das etwa dem deutschen LMAA (Leck mich am Arsch!)?

"Well blow me if it ain't my old chum Greg. Haven't seen you in years!"
"And blow me if we didn't win every single game!" [= to my great surprise]
"Just my luck! I went to the 24-hour store and blow me if it wasn't closed!!" [= very annoyed]
"Blow me if it isn't raining" = I am very annoyed to see that after a nice sunny morning, just when I want to go out it is raining!

"Blow me" is not vulgar. And I think it is probably a different word in German. Stan may have got the wrong forum and is looking for "German missing".

OALD

EXCLAMATION|
13 [vn] (BrE, informal) used to show that you are annoyed, surprised or do not care about sth:
• Blow it! We've missed the bus.
• Well, blow me down! I never thought I'd see you again.
• I'm blowed if I'm going to (= I certainly will not) let him treat you like that.
• Let's take a taxi and blow (= never mind) the expense.

I suppose Eric (New York) is correct if a strictly literal meaning of the expression is sought,but many such expressions in English are used in all innocence of their original meaning. Blow me or Well!Blow me! is often used as a simple expresion of surprise. The most common example of words 'innocently' used is possibly 'fuck'which is held to be slang for sexual intercourse, but is very often not used in that context.

also die Beispiele von Ghol nehmend, würde ich am häufigsten mit "leck mich" oder "scheisse" bzw. "so ein scheiss" übersetzen...

@ athos - IMO "leck mich" is definitely too vulgar. Pons gives "Menschenskind!" when "blow me" is used to express surprise and "Mist" for annoyance - so maybe "Scheiße" isn't so bad for that meaning.

Ich wuerd sagen, das blow me von Stan heisst auf deutsch: Du mich auch! und dieses blow me kommt von "einen blasen", waehrend Ghol (GB) blow me wohl eher von schlagen/hauen kommt, oder lieg ich da total falsch.

"Well blow me if it ain't my old chum Greg. Haven't seen you in years!"
Krass Greg, schlag ein. Wir haben uns ja schon ewig nicht mehr gesehen

"And blow me if we didn't win every single game!" [= to my great surprise]
Das schlaegt dem Fass den Boden aus, wir haben echt jedes Spiel gewonnen.

"Just my luck! I went to the 24-hour store and blow me if it wasn't closed!!" [= very annoyed]
Mal wieder typisch. Da ich geh doch zum 24-Stunden-Laden und prompt hat er zu.

"Blow me if it isn't raining" = I am very annoyed to see that after a nice sunny morning, just when I want to go out it is raining!
Jetzt schlaegt's dreizehn. Muss es unbedingt jetzt zum Regnen anfangen.

To the best of my knowledge, in BE "blow me" is a fairly old expression of surprise and is not at all vulgar. I suspect it is a contraction of "blow me down", similar to "You could have knocked me down with a feather".

I think the other use of blow is fairly recent in Britain, where a more logical term is usually used.

Well blow me down! That's all I can stands,caus I can't stands no more!

could "blow me" conceivably come from "blast" as in "[God] damn and blast"?

"ich glaub, mich laust der Affe/knutscht ein Elch" just occurred to me as phrases usedin a similar way to "blow me" [surprise].

I agree that "blow me down" is not vulgar.

However, in the US, "blow me" definitely does commonly mean "suck my dick", and both phrases are vulgar. It's certainly possible that "Blow me" is used differently in British English. However here in the US, I have never heard or read "blow me" except in a vulgar sense.

Ich glaube im Deutschen gibt es keine Universalübersetzung für "blow me". Es hängt vom jeweiligen Zusammenhang ab. "Menschenskind" gefiel mir noch am meisten, geht aber auch nur in einem Teil der Sätze und wird fast nur bei Unterhaltungen (also verbal) genutzt. Dabei hängt die Bedeutung (positive Überraschung bzw. leichtes Verärgertsein/Fluchen) von der Betonung ab. Nicht sehr hilfreich oder?
Übrigens ist "Scheiße" im Deutschen sehr vulgär, wird aber dennoch recht häufig genutzt (aber fast nur verbal).

Wenn ein unschuldiges, nicht vulgaeres blow me als Ausdruck der Ueberraschung gemeint ist.....

From the original iunquiry, it is clear that we are dealing with a vulgar insult used by teenagers in Internet chatrooms. All the Victorian-type people here who think there is still a British expression "Blow me!" meaning "Well I never" "Lorluvaduck" or "Knock me down with a feather" which could be of any relevance must live in villages in Bucks. that have not yet been connected to the road network.

Blow me means suck my dick, Leck mich, DU kannst mich mal, usw.. GOI!

@graeme: some of us actually live in villages in Cambs, not Bucks, and we are connected to the road network, although I, for one, am still trying to get used to street lights. I am interested to learn that "blow me" is no longer as innocent as it used to be, and I shall be careful not to use it.

Now what is the equivalent that I shouldn't say in German?

Could someone give us the page number and the bibliographical details (edition, ISBN, etc.) of the "Oxford advanced learners dictionary" quoted as source.

"Blow me: it's another crackpot Blunkett plan"

@graeme

<<All the Victorian-type people here who think there is still a British expression "Blow me!" meaning "Well I never" "Lorluvaduck" or "Knock me down with a feather" which could be of any relevance must live in villages in Bucks. that have not yet been connected to the road network. >>

And not being connected to the road network, they obviously read the Daily Telegraph online. Of course,the Daily Telegraph is still pretty Victorian in 2002. (;-)

OTOH perhaps all the readers not living in Bucks will have misunderstood, and we now have one very happy reporter.

Mike, vermutlich wolltest Du eine neue Ausgabe des OALD, ich habe leider nur die 11. überarbeitete Auflage von 1980 - ISBN 3-8109-0048-6 (reicht das?)

Da steht auf Seite 89 unter

blow1 (...)
11 (sl uses) spend (money) recklessly or extravagantly: ~ L10 on a dinner with a girl friend. -> blue3.
B~ the expense, = Don't worry about it.
I'll be ~ed if.../B~ed if I will..., = I will certainly not ...
Well, I'm ~ed! (indicating surprise)

Thanks, Selima!

I had understood from Stan's post that "blow me" was given in the OALD with the vulgar meaning (fellate) and thought "Blow me, Lord, love a duck! What is the world coming to?".

Ich würde sagen, dass die Bedeutung von "Blow me!" am ehesten mit "triff mich der Schlag" übersetzt werden sollte, wenn man sich die verschiedenen Beispiele so anschaut.

Andere Übersetzungen als die von Rievilo

'Well blow me if it ain't my old chum Greg. Haven't seen you in years!"
Triff mich der Schlag wenn Du nicht mein alter Kumpel Greg bist. Hab' dich ja Jahre nicht gesehen"

"And blow me if we didn't win every single game!" [= to my great surprise]
Und es treffe mich der Schlag wenn wir nicht jedes einzelne Spiel gewinnen.

"Blow me if it isn't raining" = I am very annoyed to see that after a nice sunny morning, just when I want to go out it is raining!
Triff mich der Schlag wenn das kein Regen ist.

Interestingly, there seem to be two verbs, with different conjugations.

"I'll be blowed if I'll ask her" should not be confused with "I'll be blown if I ask her".
