    My boss and I had lived for a few years in Italy and Germany, respectively, but were both in the US again at this time and had a jokey rivalry about which of us had integrated better. She was looking for jazz music for our restaurant and said “god, I love scat. Don’t you?” and my dumb ass responded before I could think about it for a second “I’m not that German.” (For anyone confused, I don’t know why, but some Americans think Germans are into scat. I have not experienced this in any way, and have no idea if it’s at all based in reality, I was just making a joke I shouldn’t have)

    She didn’t know what scatophilia was, did NOT enjoy hearing about it, but wouldn’t let it go until I explained my joke.

      Look bud. All I’m saying is that when the porn site algorithms have a stroke and think I’m into that kind of stuff, 7 times out of 10 the title is in german.

        So, this happened to you at least ten times. Hate to be the one breaking this to you but it might not be the algorithm stroking out.

        If the porn algorithms are showing you it, you must be have searched it ….just be honest, we’re all friends here.

        So, it’s “the algorithms”? Sure, buddy…

        Alright, without looking it up… What’s scat in German?

        🙃

          Okay, so my first thought was “Skat,” which is the name of a pretty popular old man card game (not in a bad way, I enjoy playing it very much, but I encounter it in similar situations to euchre or pinochle).

          Maybe it’s just a false cognate, which would be a great setup for a joke, if there was an audience that knew about both Skat and the scat stereotype. Unfortunately, I think I’ll be sitting on this one for a while.

        I’m living in Germany again now and I’ve brought this up occasionally with people when we’ve reached the comfortable talking about kinks stage, but it’s a surprise to everyone so far. Germans do definitely like anal more than Americans IME, but not because of the poop, lol. Maybe it’s the Austrians 🤷

          Ah, yeah, that’s probably it. I heard Hitler was really into it. After the war they found his internet search history was full of it.

      My best friend told me he feel in love with his now ex wife after she gave him a plumkin. Then he explained what that was and now I am scared for life.

              Just found out that the friend who taught me that kink he had just past away. I’m shocked and upset. He was a strange man who had bi polar and had zero tact. But goddamm he was my best friend and I will miss him badly.

      South Park certainly amplified the idea
