They aren't anywhere near Lake Michigan (I think), so it could have been a sarcastic answer. But as Matt just answered, it was an insult. Defiant to the end there.

It seemed like the female equivilant to 'suck my <beep>' to me. I've used that phrase pretty often in that way. >.>

I'm just going by what Insane Genius told me. He seems well trained in the ways of German Profanity.

And here I thought Erin would be a recurring foriegn comic-relief stereotype. Ah vell.

MSperoni · 09-26-2011, 11:38 AM

The problem is Erin was going up against Liz, and I felt if Liz didn't end it this way, it would be out of character. I mean, she killed Burke's entire gang pretty much "just because".

Michael Morris · 09-26-2011, 02:12 PM

Yeah, Liz has the "heartless bitch" role down pretty cold. She's an interesting character so far, can't pin her down to one trope. Definitely some sort of Ice Queen though, Baroness maybe?

It is short for "Leck' mich am Arsch" which means "lick my ass" it's probably worth about the same as a fuck you, despite a more literal translation that would say just that. Considering the inflation and all.

Wenn I provided Matt with various cusses I didn't know I was picking Erin's dying words, just that they were words of defiance.

Why did she have to die? Now I can't translate her dialogue anymore. I suggest Erin's clan of deadly German assassins comes to take revenge or something.

Edit: I used the German word wenn instead of when, behold my supreme German-ness. Wenn doesn't mean when, though... wenn means if. But I mean when.

I don't think I'm done w/ needing German translations just yet, though I'll have to be very careful regarding spoilers

If she comes back it she wouldn't be the first person in history to come back from a bullet to the brainpan, especially in a fantasy universe. That said, I get the impression Liz is the type that checks for a pulse to make sure.
