Sorry Nick and James.
I had to use my dictionary for the list
and google for those "tailgating"
It´s really funny when translatet to German.
We have no word like that.

I had an idea of some dragons walking in lockstep ( in line to the gaiting of the tail of the first)

The joys of translation ... the best example is when a student of language did some experiments with English proverbs. My favourite example was this -

'Out of sight, out of mind' - ie if you don't see it/know about it, you won't worry about it/be affected by it.

This was translated into Russian and then back again and the result was - 'Invisible lunatic'



Literal translation will never account for implied meaning.

Lol I don't know about that one, My boss is a German fellow and he drives like a goon.

That´s might be called cultural integration
because he´s in Canada.
... or maybe we should integrate "tailgating" into German language

Ah, but what's free, is the health insurance plan.

Here's a free health insurance plan: Get health insurance.
