Shrinking The Watermelon

Makarand writes "Scientists who have already eliminated seeds and sweetened the watermelon have now miniaturized this fruit to the size of a cantaloupe. Only the outer speckled shell looks give a clue to what fruit it really is. Syngenta, a Swiss agribusinesses' North American subsidiary has brought this minimelon to the market in 30 states to satisfy customers who favor something that is easier to store and less troublesome to prepare for consumption. No biotech or genetic engineering at work here - the company merely crossed different breeds of watermelons to produce the minimelon."

    you just said:

    "iron my shit!"
    (of course with a lot of spelling and grammatical errors)

    I guess you wanted to say:
    "Essen mein Scheisse!"
    which still is grammatical incorrect.

    The correct form would be:
    "Isz meine Scheisse!"

    - Isz is the imperative of essen
    - Scheisse is femininum, so you have to use meine

    But in this case, if you want to be vulgar you have to say:
    "Frisz meine Scheisse!"
    But this isn't used in german a lot (I can't remember someone said this ever)

    (YES, I _am_ bored)
