Thread Name: BS: Drumpf below the line
Subject: Donald Drumpf
This comes from Acme's contribution that Donald Trump's ancestor was not named Trump, but rather Drumpf.

Well, I had to see if that was translatable.

I got as far as Rumpf, which according to Translate Google, may mean:

hull
gondola in a hot-air balloon
fuselage , as in, "Flugzeugrumpf"
carcass
hulk
shell


I do like that "grumpf" compound. It reminds me of "Grumpy."

Which reminds me of Disney's Seven Dwarves.
Grumpy, Sneezy, Bashful, Dopey, Doc, Happy .... I forget the seventh?
I'm not certain what that makes Drumpf -- Der Rumpf?
