Brötchen {de} -> Blödchen {de} -> stupid
- "Unintelligent enough to be edible" [1]
- "Somebody who has eaten (connotation: to believe) unintelligent stuff"
- e.g. Fischbrötchen {de} -> fish + Brötchen
- [1] You are not supposed to eat (connotation: to believe) the unintelligent stuff, you are supposed to eat (connotation: actual eating) the unintelligent life forms (e.g. plants and simple organisms that merely react to taxis but do not posess higher brain functions [2]).
- [2] some species of fish may qualify, some may not qualify, see Pesco vegetarianism: Rationale
Hamburger : a kind of Brötchen (see also seamen)
Observations:
- Children like to think they can eat hamburgers (but this results often in parts of the hamburger dripping and squirting in various directions).
- Adults know hamburgers cannot be eaten [1] (at least not without making a mess).
- [1] The various oversized hamburgers (Mega, Maxi, XXL) may be an attempt to stress the point that you are eating something that cannot be eaten. [2]
- [2] although this doesn't have to refer to the hamburger itself I suspect that mammal meat [3] is among the things that cannot be eaten.
- [3] which is commonly found on hamburgers, even though it is close to indistinguishable from, similarly prepared, seitan or texturized soy. Incidentally it would also be cheaper to put a veggie burger made of seitan and/or texturized soy on a hamburger but, apparently, the economic advantage is not determining in this case, which could make you wonder.
Santa Claus : A common christmas gift for children is a hollow (-> hohl {de} -> dumb) Santa Claus made of chocolate.
Easter Bunny : A common easter gift for children is a hollow easter bunny made of chocolate.
- "Stupid enough to be edible" is a chocolate idea (-> a bad idea) [1]
- [1] Overstatement and polarization. Correctly phrased this could be: "Think about where you can or should distinguish by intelligence and where you should not".
- For example:
- Distinguishing sentient animals and non-sentient animals could separate edible and non-edible animals. (Which leaves the problem to define sentient properly)
- Discriminating pupils based on the wealth of their parents, their gender or their race seems inappropriate but distinguishing pupils by intelligence is almost unavoidable.
