Is "mouschi" Rude?

[crisgal]

II know it's German for puss, but is it rude or offensive?

[boxtops]

People use Pussy in the Uk to mean your ladybits, so yes, it could be.

[jno]

it's Muschi, and it has the same double meaning as pussy in English, I think

[boxtops]

Urban dictionary suggests (among other things) that it means Cute

II don't know what to do then! Its the only name we can all agree on for our new kitten. My little boy's friend is half German, and i wouldn't want to offend his dad!

[boxtops]

I'd go ahead. Cats in the UK are called Pussy. Go for it.

Catscool, I was going to post that,
until I saw definition Number 3.

Before you decide to call it that I'd go to a porn site like redtube or youporn and just type the word in and then bleach your brain ;-)

My dear Carakeel nearly fell off her chair when I asked her what it meant, she was brought up in Germany and is fluent, she says that it is most likely to be taken the wrong way by Germans. Personally I had never heard the word before.

Don't use it! Lived in Germany so I know what I'm talking about...!

"If in doubt, leave it out".

[boxtops]

Will your cat meet any Germans....? If not, why worry!

[NOX]

boxy it's amazing how many people speak German in this country or have some connection with Germany. I wouldn't fancy calling my cat the German equivalent of 'See you next Tuesday'.

[crisgal]

I've just spoken to my son's friend's dad who is German. He said it's akin to Mrs slocombe's pussy, and wouldn't offend any German He knows.

Go for it , you have been warned lol
