/Verlagskaufmann/ comes out as 'publisher or
bookseller' in my dictionary. Sounds like an
interesting line of work; right now, I'm wanting to go
into genetic research, but since I'm a lowly
first-year in college, I have the option of changing
my mind.

Ehh... Just _how_ does one use /das/ with a personal
name? Do I even want to know :-o?

I learned a lot of my German slang from 'Lola Rennt'
:). I assume knowing how to say "hurry up before the
cops come" will come in handy some day...
