Right, I know whenever you start learning another language, it's always tempting to look up "rude" words in the dictionary. So say hello to FURZ, which means a "fart". It's not exactly rude but, hey, it's worth a laugh. I don't think Germans realise that for English-speakers on their wonderful motorway network, driving past an AUSFAHRT or "exit" will always elicit a snigger. Oh, and before you ask, the verb "to fart" is FURZEN. And while we're on the topic, the German for "old fart", as in a boring old person is ALTER KNACKER. So now you know.
