First, Schwein is the german word for Pig...
Anyways, I think you are mistaken, as I'm sure your aware, German words can be made by combining many different words. Porsche is a German word that means "Superior to the Corvette, Supra AND Civic". (based on your post I'm guessing your from one of those groups)
- I live in Germany and speak and read German rather well. Take a look at this: formatting linkWe own an '03 996 Cabriolet which I drove yesterday, top down, over to Wiesbaden for a dental appointment. Was only able to hit 110mph (178kph) because of heavy traffic on the A66. Tomorrow we're driving down the Mosel on a wine purchasing trip (Riesling); our current record is cramming in 5 cases. Our '89 Jeep Cherokee would hold more, of course, but the fun factor would be significantly reduced.
