I looked it up again:
It’s derived from the Yiddish word “Schofel” which itself is already an insult and closer to the German word “Lump” and the English “rascal”(?).If you want a literal translation for Schofseckl I’d go for “sack full of useless rags”.
And Seckl < Säckle < Sack would be perfect for scrotum too
No, the meaning of “Sack” alone, without context is that of a soft, loosely shaped container. If “Sack” is used as a short version for “Hodensack” then yes, it can be used as an insult but that’s not the case here.
“Seckl” is more similar to the Bavarian/Austrian “Sackl” or “Packl” it’s just a bag. - Comment on What 4 days ago:
That’s fair, I learned to speak a more understandable version as I grew older. One of my half brothers and his father have a very heavy dialect. To the amusement of my sisters and me.
Their dialect is so strong that when the car broke down while on their way to family in Hessen, my step father couldn’t properly communicate with the mechanic. We still quote parts of the conversation. It was glorious.
Other than that I love Swabian life lessons like " ‘s läbe isch koin Schlotzer" or small odes to their treckers like "Isch d’ Berg au no so schteil, mein Fendt der schafft des alleweil!".
But I also prefer the way you people in the North talk. At least listening :D

The “Schof” is not drived from the German “Schaf” but from Yiddish. The older generations used it to describe someone who’s a useless idiot. E.g. when. someone fucks up something easy and obvious

When I was a child my mother worked at night to deliver newspapers. A lot of her colleagues were Turkish and German was only spoken when it was relevant for all or explicitly for my mother and step father.
I could often hear conversations held in Turkish interrupted with German words like “Steuererklärung” (tax declaration) or “Finanzamt” (German tax authority) but my personal highlight was when a Turkish outburst was followed by a “Du Schofseckl” which is a very local way to call someone names. Just imagine someone talking to you in a foreign language and ends with a term your grandfather used to berate stupid neighbors.

There is a show on German TV that is a rough copy of Last Week Tonight. Every once in a while they surprise their audience with a show that’s about the audience.
It’s the “Lass dich überwachen” Special from (ZDF) Magazin Royal. I liked the episode from Q1 (?) this year where they went through a guests whole last FM history and created a kind of music show segment of if it.

I remember my first music festival where a group of people tried to use this as some kind of time bomb. The put the can on their little gas stove and waited. For hours. They gave up when the main acts went on stage.

Just imagine the change that could go through social media platforms if, instead of censoring their content, users would just share links to platforms which allow them to freely share without unnecessary censorship.
On the other hand I’m a bit scared of what the rich assholes would come up with instead if they can’t work themselves off at the enshitification of reddit et al…

He also loves to rant about political correctness being the reason why people don’t find him funny anymore. Young people are just really offended. Definitely not related to him including being only able to make offending jokes. But Jews am I rite? (/s obvs).
Reading his Wikipedia article alone will stay be helpful enough to overcome your affection.
Seinfeld and his family previously drew criticism, travelling to the occupied West Bank in 2018 to participate in an anti-terrorism simulation camp.

In 2025, responding to a social media influencer and ambush activist who said “Free Palestine”, he shook his head and replied “I don’t care about Palestine.”

Recently generated a few generic images für work in Copilot and forgot to add the style for one of them so it was generated to look like a photo. It was more than uncanny and made me very uncomfortable.
