Delicatessen = Delicat Essen = Delicious foods. Surprised I didn't notice it when I used to work in one.

Amazing, it's only the first page and the thread title is already correct! You're right that Deliactessen is a German loan word, but it's more than that. It's actually a French loanword in German with the original French, délicatesse meaning something like delicious thing. Even this French word isn't original, that would be the Latin delicatus. It's a logical assumption, what with the incredible German compound nouns, but it's still questionable etymology.

Ebert was a hardline breastman it must therefore be assumed that according to Hegelian Dialectics Siskel was an assman.

Bomb rear end titties being the thesis, booties being the antithesis, the synthesis is the vaginur.

Mein gott, this is pure ideology. My dude, as any proper Hegelian would tell you the synthesis of rear end and titties is not something as vulgar as a a vagina, but that most important and arousing of organs: the brain.
