Good story.

One question. What is a Fucking Herm?

johsunjohsunover 2 years ago

"Herm" is an impolite and derogatory term used against German People. I heard it when Stationed in Germany back in the 70's. I think it comes from "Herman" a name that might be common there.

I don't think the author used in that vicious a way in this story, more as a way for the character's persona to shock his listeners and so keep them from asking that question again.

@johsun.

Thanks for the info. I have no problem with insults. I just want to know what they mean.

Juxtaposition between the outlandish (and quite funny) tales used to deflect the ‘The Question’ and the grim reality of the true answer is gripping. Most excellent.

Just a guy that likes to read stories, maybe one day finish one myself. 5/12/20 - submitted a fairly short story the other day. It's in the sci fi category, no sex in it. Hopefully it will be accepted and up soon.
