Zangendeutsch, literally, plier(tongs) German is a form of meme German in which every instance of English (there are many) is literally translated into German, leading to confusion and amusement. I assume plier English is a similar form of literal translation that arises in comedy.

I’m not familiar with these idioms, but I’m not a native German speaker. This is German sentence structure (verbs at the end in secondary clauses and general ordering of prepositions) though, so maybe it’s from German?

This here is i_itrl, the only plier-English zone. The contents are like me_irl and ich_iel, but in plier-English. Make you ready on a hit fit. Nothing for weak hearts.

  1. Only plier-English posts, unless a another "Person" in the meme different speaks. For example: First person: "Speak English" Second person: "Speak German" Third person: "Speak plier-English" There must however always a plier-English element contained be.
  2. Meta-posts allowed not more than 24 hours exist or until she resolve is.
  3. No reposting
  4. Have fun and be no asshole.
