Awkward
Few things are as awkward as having to explain a joke. Then it is like the Germans/Swiss say "the joke is around the corner". Indeed.
Brought the Euro-English piece to the German teacher. I was kinda under the impression that he had a sense of humour. Hmm.
Well, he laughed and asked me, "that is supposed to be Dutch, right"? And I went..."hmm, no, not really, it's German". How do you explain something to somebody who doesn't understand? A joke. Awkward is the name of the game.

So I heard from a friend today :)...it's not easy with all the languages I'm currently dealing with...but as I understood it was polite so ok. You may continue to comment in Portuguese (as long as there is a translation provided :)...
