Babel for office use


In central America Spanish, an aviador "an aviator" is a person who only shows up on payday. Yes, everyone knows a few of those.

Afrikaans language, pampiervampier "paper-vampire" is the other word for stapler. It punches two holes in papers but if you are not careful, you could draw blood on your finger too.

In German, Blechlawine literally means “metal avalanche”. It describes the traffic jam on the highway. Use it only when you are very late… hmm… I realized that only the people who are constantly late faces traffic jam in the morning.

If you are late to go home everyday and your wife is angry with you, why don’t you get her a drachenfutter, literally means “dragon fodder” in German. It’s the peace offering a guilty husband gives to his wife.

Oh! And finally I hope you do not have a koshatnik in your office. That’s a person who sells stolen cats in Russian.

No... nothing to do with this cat below.
