"Tannenbaum" just means "fir tree."

For example, there's a beer from the Black Forest region called "Tannenzaepfle" or literally "fir cone" beer.



(it's a pretty decent pils).

No idea why Mr. Tree Cannon there isn't calling his a Tannenbaumkanone, since I don't see that poo poo decorated :colbert: Could be that he's hucking left over christmas trees in Jan. or something.

edit: ok, yeah, watched the video, looks like he's doing it with left over Christmas trees.

Correct.

Aha, the mystery is solved. Any tree, once decorated, is a Weinachtsbaum, even if the decorations are later removed. But only some (One?) breeds of tree are Tannenbaum.

I mean you can figure out the difference between a christmas tree and any other evergreen tree, right? It's that, but with a more specific kind of conifer.

Literal translation: "Wife who is used to a lot of things."
But the actual meaning is more like "wife who tolerates a lot of crap".
