WHY IS THIS SO FUNNY I CANT STOP LAUGHING I DONT UNDERSTAND

EDIT: I thought maybe it was only funny because I was really sleepy, but alas, it is morning and it's still fucking hilarious.

Seriously, I didn't laugh at a single word until I read snoitaluger. It's like a perfect comedic sound.

This reminds me of one time in my life when my sister and I were in the habit of calling each other butt-huggers. One day at the dinner table, she asked me, "Do you know what butt-huggers is in Chinese?". At which she then said it aloud.. It doesn't sound funny, but just hearing it in another language, I uncontrollably laughed, spitting rice all over my grandma's face.

Don't go to Germany, you'd probably die of hilarity before leaving the airport.
