    Hi.

    Can somebody of U help me:

    What is the german term "Verarschung" in English? I hope there are enough german spoken members posting this board who understand the meaning of this absolutely un-translateable word, and can be of help. Its very important;-)

    dict.leo.org says "Piss take (brit.)". Is it a rude form of "pull someones leg"?

    a bit rusty, but....I think it roughly translates: "Verawelhung!".

    Mineralogist is right. It is a rather rude word. "Arsch" is "a$$" (not the animal), so if someone is "verarsching" you he tries to make you look like an a$$.

    While there is a lot of "verarschung" in WT literature you would not find the expression on the German WT Library CD-ROM.

    Hope that helps.
