Learn German With Cartoons #4: Here’s an easy one. The word “Anbaden” is slang for “to go swimming for the first time of the year”. Now guess what the verb “Ausbaden” means? You’re right, it’s “suffer the consequences”. What a difference a letter makes.

  16. Thanks for all your great entries. Congrats go out to @AviMaRear for submitting the winning caption as seen above.
It is followed by @Ally__Jam’s very funny “What do you know Cecil, it turns out you can get quicker than a Kwik Fit Fitter” …
and @fifteenoclock’s clever “We need to buy a Beetle if we are to continue in this line of work”. 
Congratulations! And thanks again for joining the contest.
