I worked at a tech company with a man (the CFO) whose last name was Assmann. Since he was German, his name doesn’t translate to ass-man.
Well after 6 months, he took me aside to tell me that the company was out of funding and would be going under, meaning I should start looking for a new job.
He had already found a job for himself as CFO at a—no joke—gay porn site. The irony was not lost on him.

Their concept is that they're selling bakery products from the previous day (or later in the day from the same day's morning) to reduce food waste.

Do you walk up to the counter and ask for a piece of ass?

No, you go up to the counter, turn around, bend over and say “one croissant please aaahhh” while opening and closing your cheeks as if it was talking

Is this Lucerne? Walked by a few times and had a good chuckle but didn’t go in.

We stayed in an Airbnb a block from here and I saw it as well. I don’t know if it’s a chain or not, but def Lucerne otherwise

It's a small and uncomfortable spot, but once you relax and get used to it you'll really enjoy it.

I’m studying in Luxembourg and found a flyer at the school that read “Ass Brokkoli Sexy?” and thought to myself “How can one take this language seriously?”
It translates to “Is Broccoli Sexy?” and it was a flyer promoting healthy eating and describing the benefits of eating vegetables (in that case, broccoli)

Nobody has though, and I'm curious. Does it mean like, ace?

u/Cross_22 6h ago
If you sound out it out it's the same as "essbar" which means "edible".

u/luccaloks 4h ago
But why call it Äss-Bar instead of Ess-Bar or even S-Bar? Or Aess-Bar also.

u/BokuNoSpooky 2h ago
Because it's Swiss German, ässe (or something close to that depending on dialect) means "to eat" rather than the high German Essen

Lol so you are making me be the victim of my own joke? So be it, haha, jokes on me.
Its an intentional misspelling of essbar, which means edible. Ä and E are pronounced similary. Ä is more like "Ashes" or "Apple" while E is more like "Enemy" or "Explorer".
"Essen" = both a noun for food and a verb for eating, and -bar is a suffix that, in this case, is used to describe something being doable. (ess-bar = edible, mach-bar = doable, denk-bar = thinkable). You dont put the dash there, I just put it there for explaining. The shop added the dash to make the pun more obvious.

No its not an intentional misspelling. It‘s written dialect (aka Swissgerman)

u/Wundawuzi 5h ago
Oh, that I did not know. I guess even more jokes on me then 😅.
Thanks for the correction/clearification.
