Another great German saying. "Good manners from good education by good parents." 3 traits wrapped into two words and one saying. Sums things up doesn't it? This came from a web site where the author had some stuff ripped off by someone else and questioned the 'Gute Kinderstube' of the stealing author.
By the way, the longest word in German 'Donaudampfschiffahrtsgesellschaftskapitän'. Translates as "Danube steamship company captain". I used to work with a Canadian journalist, and he told me that some of the editors used to play tricks on news readers, and either added hard to pronounce words to in stories/ segments or overused a difficult surname rather than use a pronoun. And this was all live TV and teleprompters, so some poor sod jounro is having to say things like "... when questioned by Police, Mr Szeraszuk declined to answer questions prompting Mrs Szeraszuk to contact the Szeraszuk family lawyer..."
