<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Growing up in a American /German neighborhod, I
heard many English/German phrases that included both English and German
words. My parents, Grandparents, Uncles, Aunts...etc spoke German amongst
themselves but only English to the children. Too bad... :-(( ...but that's
the way it was. A phrase I heard included the word
"hornschwagel".</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm spelling it the best I can since I've never
seen it written. It means that you have been cheated (hornschwageled) in,
perhaps, a business deal. That is, you received less than what you
bargained for. Does anyone else know of this word? Is it an
Anglicized word from German? Was dinks du?</FONT></DIV>
