Sarcasm is difficult to understand when crossing any language barrier, but yes it is a popular stereotype that the Germans have little sense of humour. I work with several german clients and they don't put up with anything let's put it that way. Just Google it.
Besides the spit, they conjure up and the obvious distasteful war words they ejaculate, they never ever fail to say âHalt!â with much imagined German military gusto and pomp. It somehow sounds much better to them in German than in English. Alternatively, to this stereotyping, there are other ways to say âstopâ in German. See explanations below. Stehen bleiben.
