Blue is pretty darn wonderful too, as a color but also as a word. It can be a last name: Bleu and in German: Blau, it means both blue the color and drunk. If you say "Ich bin blau," it does NOT mean "I am blue." It means "I am drunk."

That's pretty damned cool. But how do you say that you are blue in German?

Oh here's a good word: dreich - the first part is pronounced dree and the ch is strangled like in loch. As you'll have guessed,,it is Scottish, meaning cold, wet, windy and just generally horrible weather. Even though it's quite warm today, it is a wee bit dreich.

Well... blue means sad if used the English way for that, so you'd say "Ich bin traurig". (Ee-ch (ch in this word sounds like hissing) bin tr-ow-r (rolled/flipped)- ee-ch) German pronunciation is quite a bit like Scottish for most words, or so I've seen so far, but with my German background, I thought the first part of the word would be pronounced dry because of the e being before the I.

Um, another strange word could be another German word: Quatsch. Any time you have a Qu combo in German, it's pronounced like a Kv combo instead. So: Kv-ah-tch. If I remember correctly, it means something to the tune of "No way!" Or "BS!" Ya know, any way you'd verbally disprove what they were saying in no more than two or three words.
