I just checked my calendar and was suprised to learn it is, in fact, already time for another Alphabet Club Catch up post! We have reached the letter 'F' now, so let's celebrate this Fact with a visit of this cute little Fuchs (fox), and also some Fliegenpilze (fly agaric, according to my dictionary). He's also a very Fitting host to introduce today's Funny word, which is 'fuchsteufelswild' (fox-fevil-wild, if you take it literally). It decribes the state of being really, really mad about something or someone, and my dictionary offers 'hopping mad' as a translation. Really short post today, but I thought it was a cute little word still!

Leonore, oh, I love that word although I am not sure that I can pronounce it! lol!
That's a wonderful word! And a very dapper host.
What a cute little fox, he's fluffy too! There is a scene in Blackadder where he says the Germans have no word for "fluffy" but I refuse to believe that!
I love fuchsteufelswild but the struggle is saying it without saying the other F-word!
Das Wort passt hervorragend. Und wie schön, dass du auch einen gestickten Fuchs hast.
What a fun word! Cute stitching :)
