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?
