  • That’s assuming you know that Germans use eggs to mean testicles. I only learned this trying to joke with a German colleague that the red headed guy in our office was ‘ingver-klerten’ Without realising that they don’t use ginger to mean a colour, or nuts to mean balls/testicles. In English ‘licking eggs’ is just a slow way to have breakfast.

    In the UK, if the 1st May isn’t the Monday, then the next Monday becomes a ‘bank holiday’ Traditionally means the banks don’t open, so no other businesses could get anything done - therefore National holiday. Now it means any big business with full time employment doesn’t open (9-5 M-F types) all the other stuff opens slightly reduced hours. The local corner shop, still full on as if nothing happened. So May 4th is no work this year.
