For a role-play exercise in German class, the pupils had to stand in front of the class and display their new-found knowledge of airport vocabulary. After a short terrorist-and-bomb-style exchange, Sean Wensley and Michael Lancaster shouted “Schnell! Schell!” and ran out of the room. Sean never came back to the class. After that, we had no more role-plays.

“Schnell, Schnell! Kartoffelnkopf!”
A phrase we picked up from a war movie and thought we’d impress our lady German teacher with. Unfortunately our cries of " Quickly, quickly! Potato head! " did not gain her favour.
Our end of year present of a large chocolate dildo had a much more positive effect.

During Commandos, the computer game,the soldiers will say schnell , but also something that sounds like ' Uncle Lester '. This has been part of my German vocabulary for years now, although no-one knows what it means. PS - please help
It's 2011, now. Surely someone can be arsed to download an emulator, play this game, then report back? I know I can't.

Without wishing to seem any more of an anal dweeb than I am, wasn’t that snatch of German from an Episode of Blackadder Goes Forth? Far less macho than “some war movie”, no?
