paunch Explanation: Everyone around here hoists their trousers up over their paunch (beer belly). http://www.planet3dnow.de/vbulletin/threads/346092-Schwimmen... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 hrs (2017-10-22 22:28:05 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Revised version on the basis of the link posted above: They'll wear anything around here to cover up their paunch. in this case, the fancy dress suit being worn for the interview scene. If I were from Dortmund, I might think that the scriptwriter were defining the locals as chavs. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 17 hrs (2017-10-23 10:00:15 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Update: Thomas Pfann has listened to the video and has posted a more plausible translation in the comments under this answer. "Revised version on the basis of the actual footage: Now I'll just pull this thing over my paunch. (The guy is muttering this to himself while putting on the costume - as a sort of running commentary on what he's doing.)" |
