I guess calling people a**hole isn't a personal attack and
worthy of banning, huh? Some people never learn.

Leck mich im Arsch
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia




Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart – posthumous painting by Barbara Krafft in 1819


Leck mich im Arsch (literally "Lick me in the arse") is a canon in B-flat major composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, K. 231 (K. 382c), with lyrics in German. It was one of a set of at least six canons probably written in Vienna in 1782. [1] Sung by six voices as a three-part round, it is thought to be a party piece for his friends.

Götz von Berlichingen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the play, see Goetz von Berlichingen.




A relief of Götz von Berlichingen in Germany containing the famous phrase.


Gottfried "Götz" von Berlichingen (c. 1480 – 23 July 1562) and also known as Götz of the Iron Hand, was a German ( Franconian) Imperial Knight (Reichsritter) and mercenary. He was born around 1480 into the noble family of Berlichingen in Württemberg. Götz bought Hornberg castle ( Neckarzimmern) in 1517, and lived there until his death in 1562. He was active in numerous campaigns during a period of 47 years (1498–1544), including the German Peasants' War, besides numerous feuds; in his autobiography he estimates that he fought 15 feuds in his own name, besides many cases where he lent assistance to friends, including feuds against the cities of Cologne, Ulm, Augsburg, the Swabian League as well as the bishop of Bamberg.

His name became famous as a euphemism for a vulgar expression ( er kann mich im Arsche lecken "he can lick me in the arse") attributed to him by writer and poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832) who wrote a play based on his life.
