Scott discovers what he believes is the most offensive phrase in the German language and puts it to the test by calling random businesses across Germany to see their reactions.
While preparing German phrases to call around Germany, Scott stumbled upon what turned out to be remarkably offensive to German speakers. He’d initially called a hotel claiming he needed to speak to a footballer’s wife who didn’t speak English, testing out various German phrases with the receptionist. Most went fine until he got to one particular phrase, which immediately ended the conversation—a strong signal he’d found something genuinely offensive.
Intrigued, Scott decided to investigate further by calling other German businesses with the phrase to gauge their reactions. The responses confirmed his suspicion: there was clearly something deeply wrong with what he was saying.
Later in the show, Scott used a clever cover story, calling a German tourist board in Munich and pretending he had a German woman in his flower shop who was speaking to him in German. He claimed he couldn’t understand her and needed help translating. The staff member obliged, explaining what the woman was supposedly saying: “I’d rather die with Schlagswanne, and I’d like to love to cover you with cream, and then lick everything off your body.” The translation revealed that the offensive phrase wasn’t just rude—it was aggressively suggestive, combining insults about his breath and flatulence with sexually explicit propositions, which explained the abrupt hang-ups from his earlier calls.
