Talk about your double standards! Humpfff! But then, calling someone
"Mäuschen" (little mouse) is definitely a term of endearment in German... I
suppose I could live with that if it weren't for your deliberate mix-up of
Alces alces and Mus musculus, which, speaking as a biologist, I cannot help
but frown upon.
