Ok, thanks. I studied linguistics for another language years ago, (a language without any 'th'), so it was a guess. Still no answer of what it is or why it's used.

Unrelated, but how and why do you use the thorn (or something else?) as th-replacement?

"Grumbern" is the same in parts of Frankonia.

I get that point, but stainless steel also exists.

(Electric) kettle would be the "right" word for Wasserkocher.

Brits and their weird non-compound-words.

Since they shut out Linux players last week. Taking away access to things someone bought, used and can't use anymore because of something the supplier did could be interpreted as theft.

The article being from the US, after I read that that woman shoved the bikes to the ground, I was mentally prepared to read that she got shot.

Wildest thing is that the cyclists were on public ground and she doesn't want them there. Why do you care, lady? Why would someone else stop to berate the cyclists as well? Were they in an ani-cycling cult town?

Ok, thanks for the update. I'm neither a car guy nor a native speaker.

Older (pre 2000) diesel cars needed a few seconds, sometimes a minute to "warm-up" the starter. You had to turn the ignition half way before you actually start the car. That's the only "warming up" a car might need to function (normal circumstances).
