While Ben is out of town, we (der fadder and I) just wanted to say thanks to all on the forum for your constructive comments and support over many years.

He may be a foul mouthed games reviewer but he's OUR foul mouthed games reviewer and he makes us proud.

... though I still don't like the use of "twat"!

He is our Oscar Wilde and he would be greatly missed if he dies.[/Jk]

I really enjoy having him around on the internet and hopefully soon on other TV channels.

If Yahtzee still has a heart somewhere in that withered, malnourished chest cavity of his, it must be warmed because he has such caring parents.

Thank God for his and my parents then. Already 18 and mother still spoon feeds me...kind of.


More more thing.
I love Yahtzee's honesty. Hope that doesn't perish.

It's interesting to discover that Yahtzee didn't appear out of thin air or get dropped on this planet by aliens.

I wonder if der Mudda and Fadder play his games?

Am I the only one who's slightly irritated about the fact that "der" is a male pronoun?

Sorry Gobbler, never studied German.

I felt the urge to write because the fruit of our loins has been a little grumpy of late, perhaps he's not eating enough veggies.

I'm afraid we haven't played any of the great ones' games, I tried once and got stuck on the first screen. My favourite was Dizzy on the Commodore 64.

I noticed, Gobbler, but I assumed it wasn't German because "father" is "Vater" and "mother" is "Mutter". I guess I thought "der" was an oversimplification of "their" or something.

Among West Germanic languages, mudda and fadder are usually rather extreme slang versions of mother and father. Most prominent in northern Germany (where people try to find an easier way to let Mutter and Vater roll over their tongues), the Netherlands (where people try to forget how stupid moeder and vader sound) and - apparently - parts of Britain. And Star Wars.

This concludes my rather ill-researched explanation for your enlightenment, you may all go forth and sin no more.

"der" is also the feminine form of "die" in the dative case.

It is therefore not a stretch that she is referring to herself in third person, in which it is conceivable that she may use the verb form to describe herself.

("'der mudda' ist der mutter von Ben" (forgive the rest of my German grammar))

That explanation is a bit flawed. If anything, then you should have used the dativus iudicantis to prove your point, using the implication of the subject's point of view. And yet I doubt that this is the case, since the combination of the slowly dying dative - as a represant of a higher level of language - and a slangword arouses some severe suspicion.

Then again, it might also be a most clever ruse, and we all know that the elderly generations (forgive the rudeness of my exp​ression) have a knack for that.
