shirt pulling= am Trikot zerren/ fortune cookies=Glückskuchen / -plätzchen Explanation: Trikot is the shirt a footballplayer is wearing and it is "normal" to stop players from the other team by pulling on his shirt. That´s how I explain it. Fortune cookies=Glückskuchen. You ever have been in a chinese Restaurant? When you`ve paid you got a fortune cookie including a small piece of paper with some wise words. I hope the right words for you!? |
