More german verbs: "vögeln" (birding) - having sex. "(hinterher)dackeln" (like in dachshund) - taking very small steps, usually following someone, like a toddler after their mum. "Nachäffen" (monkeying?) - to mimick someone sarcastically. "mausen" (mousing) and "mopsen" (pugging) - committing a petty theft. "unken" (toading) - pessimistically predicting. "wurmen" (worming) - something annoys. And there's so many more...

If it weren't for this comment I wouldn't have made the etymological comparison between "wurmen" and "vermin".

That sounds more menacing. That may be because of coca cola tho that I don't picture the polar bears as as dangerous as the tiger one
