THIS IS SCHLAAAAAAAAMPPPPEITZIGGGEEEEEEERRRRRR!!

How dare you forget about him, Ken?!!

By the way, I don't think I ever told you but Schlammpeitziger is pronounced as follows:

Sch = pronounced 'shkiee'
lamp - pronounced 'lomp'
eitz - pronounced 'I see it'
iger - pronounced 'Igor'

So it's like saying 'shkiee-lomp-Iseeit-igor.

Yup. That's how it is officially pronounced. I know this for sure because I did a German introductory course in 1998 with a specialization in alphabet pronunciation.

@FoFo: the name Schlammpeitziger is actually derived from a fish, the Schlammpeitzger, in English that's the Misgurnus or Weatherfish: en.wikipedia.org...

COVENNNNNN!!!
Avatar Ken's Marathon 2024 Swag For Life Member 10:47am oǝʌǝʇs:

The origin of the name Misgurnus comes from the Greek word miseo (to hate) and the Turkish gür (stentorian), a name given to them due to their habit of becoming very active during barometric pressure changes that occur during thunderstorms.

Schlamm is simply mud, the word peitzger is lent from the slavic piskor (to whistle), because the fish makes a whistling sound when picked up because of air escaping from one of its bladders. So it's a mud-whistler!
