Iphigenia, you're famous! :-)

[Tatjana Farkin]

Your "breasts are not just for selling more beer" comment is the title
of an article about the Burger King Nurse-In in Germany's major weekly
news magazine! And you're quoted with your full name ;-)

Here's an...interesting translation of it:

"chests are more than advertising arguments for beer"

Women in the prueden America go on the barricades: They expose publicly
their chests. However not, in order to make itself nackig to satisfy but
around their children.

Tristyn Underwood, 28, nut/mother and housewife from Murray in the US
state Utah, demonstrated to satisfying their children with DIANE call
and 14 further mothers against the domestic "Burger King" with one "to
only-be".

Cause for the action was an employee of the Bulettenbraeters, which a
Mrs. satisfying in the play corner of the restaurant forbidden and which
had requested nut/mother to give to their new generation on the toilet
the chest.

Underwood explained, which must recognize "humans that chests are more
than advertising arguments for the beer paragraph". And nut/mother call
supplemented, her satisfies by no means in the public, in order to close
and say "halfnaked: "He, looks. I have moepse."

A group with the name "Natural Mothers" announced country-wide for the
coming weeks only SE in.

Eek! Translation engines are a little scary: I did a Google "translate
this page," and the title became "Chests are more than advertising arguments
for beer." Iphigenia is described as "nut/mother and housewife from Murray
in the US state Utah."

The word used really does mean 'breast', not chest.

LOL. We always knew it, you're a nut ;-)

Eh, I think I'll try myself at a translation of the article.

Women in 'prude America' go on the barricades: They expose their breasts
in public. However they don't do it in order to expose themselves
stark-naked but to breastfeed their children.

Tristyn Underwood, 28, mother and housewife from Murray, Utah, Diane
Call and 14 other mothers demonstrated with a 'nurse-in' at their local
Burger King.

The reason for this demonstration was an employee of this burger place
who had told a woman it was forbidden to nurse in the play area of the
restaurant and who had told her to nurse her little one in the restroom
instead.

Underwood explained that 'people have to realise that breasts are more
than a marketing argument for beer sales'. And mother Diana Call added
that she was by no means breastfeeding in public in order to 'jump
around half-naked and say: "Look here, I have boobs."'.

A group called "Natural Mothers" announced nationwide 'nurse-ins' for
the coming weeks.

Thing is, the German word 'Mutter' is also used for what is called a nut
or bolt in DIY (metal rings that fit around screws), and of course the
software doesn't know which term to use so it offers both - ergo
'nut/mother'.

This is a hilarious thread in itself!
(btw, a nut is the metal ring, threaded on the inside that goes around a
bolt (which is a cylidrical threaded connector with a blunt end) usually
after the bolt is passed through the material it's holding together.
A screw is a threaded tapered metal connector, normally doesn't use a
bolt, has a sharp end for piercing the material it's used in (usually
wood or metal)

Dawn, nitpicking or offering more precise description, depending on
whether clarity irritates you or not. ;-))

Googling shows she was quoted in the NY Post as well.

My husband has been quoting her non-stop since I told him about it :)

Ah, ok! DH avoids all things DIY, so I really don't have the vocab to
talk DIY in English! :-)

Hm, I think 'screw' and 'bolt' use the same term in German, I've never
distinguished between blunt or pointed ends. But maybe I don't have the
German DIY vocab, either! Lol.

*g* no problem, I'd say there's a very high number of native English
speakers that don't know the difference nor the practicalities of their
specific uses. (Generally a bolt requires that there already BE a hole
in the material, where a screw makes a hole (hence the point))

Quite possible. Curious, as German is usually pretty good at having a
word for everything. Very useful in some disciplines (dressage,
ferinstance) as what takes a paragraph in English is one (albeit a bit
long) word in German.

I think hubby calls that one a 'self-screwing screw' :-)

That's because German can combine words into compound nouns ad nauseam
.... But in general, when you translate from English to German you go
from a concise paragraph to a wordy monster twice the length!

Self-tapping screw. Most screw require a hole smaller than the screw
be drilled (or they are fiendishly difficult to screw in). So for 5mm
screw you would drill a 4mm hole. The point allows it to start
digging in to the sides of the hole. When you're screwing into
softwood, though, you can use a self tapping screw and just make a
tiny hole with a bradawl (or, indeed a thumb tack/drawing pin) to
start it off.

And that is how I built a set of shelves using only a cordless
screwdriver :)

Anita, the _Newsweek_ article was a collection of quotes. Here's the URL:

<http://www.msnbc.com/news/994234.asp?cp1=1>

Funny thing, someone picked it up and put it in his blog, but misunderstood
and thought iphigenia was the mom who was asked to stop nursing:

<http://marketingdriven.blogspot.com/>
***
Breast-In?

Great quote in this week's Newsweek Perspective section, one that keys on
the sexual sell we are all subjected to. Apparently, Murray, Utah resident
Tristyn Underwood was asked to stop nursing her baby at the local Burger
King. So she and 15 other nursing mothers staged a "nurse-in" at the place.
Love this quote: People need to realize breasts are for more than selling
beer." Amen.
