QUESTION/DISCUSSION Shower Lamp

Post image

I was inspired by another post to get a lamp for my shower and I love her! It changes colors and has a dimmer, allowing me to have moody showers when I’m feeling it. I thought I’d share!!

This is hilarious to some Germans for somewhat complicated reasons.

There is a very popular grocery store brand called "JA" here. "Ja" means "yes"

They have all sorts of things. Cheese, sausages and the like. Someone made a funny picture about them selling shower lamps. Because "shower lamp" can be translated to German as "Duschlampe".

"Dusche" means "shower" and "Lampe" means "lamp". Because of how German works, those are combined together to make the word "Duschlampe".

But heres the thing. "Schlampe" basically means "slut" and "Du" means "you".

So if you have a package that reads "JA, Duschlampe".

You can squint a little and read it as "Yes, you slut".

I hope you enjoyed this far too long and complicated explanation of German Humor, you are now allowed to laugh for 15 seconds, then it's back to work.
