umlaut
"
Umlaut" (m.), nounThe German alphabet consists of 26 characters plus 3
umlauts: ä, ö and ü. The two dots above the letters do NOT indicate an accentuation or emphasis of the syllable (as for instance accent-bearing letters in Spanish or French).
Umlauts are used as independent characters in the German language. Whenever the use of umlauts is not possible (e.g. for technical reasons, in email addresses or names of websites), umlauts are indicated by the following combinations: “ae” = ä, “
oe”= ö, “
ue” = ü.Note: some proper names contain the converted form of umlauts(e.g. the author is spelled
Goethe NOT Göthe)!Pronunciation: The letter ä is pronounced like the a in “apple”. The sound of the letter ö is similar to the sound in “earn” or “bird”. The letter ü is the most difficult for those who are learning German. It is the same sound as the u in the French words “
musique”, “chaussure”, “
rue”, ... etc.

The two small
dots above german letters. Usually used to move the
syllable sound to the front of the mouth, so 'ooo' becomes 'oh'
and so forth. Also associated with making something seem cooler, or more edgy. This process is commonly associated with nouns.
Example:
ü
ber, kö
hn. And to make something more intesne -
Joseph becomes Jö-sef.
He just thinks he's all that because he has an umlaut in his name.
umlaut

Vulgar slang. Technically this is the act of depositing half a load of semen onto each of a person's (e.g. an attractive female) two eyes. In practice the term may refer to male ejaculation near the eyes and - more loosely - as sexual activity of any kind.
Umlaut can also be used to express a person's perceived sexual atractiveness. A person who is attractive or upon whom it is desirable to perform the act of umlauting is said to be "umlautable". The word "
umlaut" is often used as a single world exclamation where the term is synonymous (but with more vulgar connotations) with the word "hot".
The term is derived from visual similarity of the sexual act upon the eyes to the diacritical
marking of two
dots appearing over a vowel in
Germanic languages.
Example:
"That chick was so
smokin' I umlauted
right on her eyes."
"Dude, major umlautables over there."
"He umlauted her brains out."
"
Umlaut!"

It Needs the Umlaut
by It Needs The Umlaut on Jan 19, 2009 10:23:33
Its like soccer in every way except... The whole point of the game is to kick the ball over the fence.
and...
The
Squiggle Guard sits on the fence with a
rapier and tries to stop the ball from getting kicked over the fence.
All the while the Squiggle Guard tries to stab the
Squiggler (whom is without clothes). The Squiggler has a single coin somewhere beneath his or her skin and must try to get the Squiggle Guard to stab his coin.
On the other side of the fence the Squiggle Monkey waits to try and catch the ball.. but for the entire game the Squiggle Monkey has to ride a unicycle and scream "SHAKESPEARE!!" as loud as they can.
The game ends every forth Tuesday.
Example:
"I
challange you to a match of It Needs the Umlaut"
"My grandfather told me of
the drama and
heartbreak of the great It Needs the Umlaut series of '72"
