False Friends

Heads up, English speakers. "Der Winter," "die Maus" and "das Bier" may be easy English-German cognates, but the word "das Gift" in German means "poison, toxic, venom" .

Yeah. I must admit that I care about as much as you care about what my suitemate is planning to have for lunch on the second Tuesday of November. But hey, I guess it's still something of a miracle when you hear about our team actually getting anywhere :P . Especially against your team, which has always held a significantly better football reputation.
