Shitstorm in Germany

[TradeNurkicNow]

This is awesome. Apparently the word "shitstorm" has entered German, taking the meaning of an especially fervent political protest. Even the prime minister has used it, and now the German standardized dictionary (like our Websters, or the OED) has an entry for it.

Yeah, "shitzenhuber". In Russian, it's "shitsky". In Polish, it's "shitsinski".

Hitler simply called it "the Southern strategy." Bush kept changing his reason for doing it.
