German?

[edit]

I looked but found no equivalent in German. "Tisch" means "table", "dish" might be "Teller". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:24, 2 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure how this question is related to the article, but there is the saying "Haben wir (schon mal) zusammen Schweine gehütet?", Have we (ever) looked after swine together? or "Ich kann mich nicht erinnern, dass wir schon mal zusammen Schweine gehütet haben.", I don't remember us having looked after swine together. which is equally criticizing someone behaving/talking too casually. The irony there is of course that, by suggesting a supposedly low-class and dirty work, the speaker is mildly breaching social norms as well. --2A01:C23:6029:E600:A101:D5D4:3A7:BFE0 (talk) 07:10, 2 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. The relation is that a phrase in German wa given as similar, but needed a citation, and I commented it out becaue I could not find one for that other German phrae. This one about swine might deserve a mention. - I didn't just want to remove something without an edit summary and explanation, although - or rather because - I have seen that been done. --
Oh, I see. True, I've never heard the phrase "Wir teilen denselben Tisch" and neither has Google (except for this very Wikipedia article). --2A01:C23:6029:E600:A101:D5D4:3A7:BFE0 (talk) 13:23, 2 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
What about this source: "Search result for: Ich kann mich nicht erinnern, dass wir schon mal zusammen Schweine gehütet haben". Redensarten-Index. Retrieved 2019-09-04. --evrik (talk) 14:36, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nice source, but not for any dish or Tisch phrase --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:18, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
