The German idiom, “Ich bin fast im Dreieck gesprungen!” is a way of indicating that you’re outraged. Literally, though, it means “I almost jumped in triangles.” This is part of a complete episode.
Transcript of “Jumping in Triangles”
I came across a German expression the other day that means I almost lost my temper or I became outraged.
And it literally translates as, I almost jumped in triangles.
What’s in German?
I knew you were going to ask me that.
Ich bin fast im Dreieck gesprungen.
Sprungin.
Yeah, I almost jumped in triangles.
It means to become outraged.
Nice, I almost jumped in triangles.
Why? I don’t know.
Me neither.
