RE: What do you call an attractive person (man/woman/both) in your country?
In Germany we said things like "Schnecke" (snail), "Biene" (bee), "Torte" (cake), "Schnitte" (slice), "Puppe" (doll), "Mieze" (kitty) and even "steiler Zahn" (super tooth). But all those are a bit outdated right now. I guess, we switched to "chick" or "chica" a few years ago.
I almost forgot about "Granate" (grenade), "Kanone" (cannon) and "Bombe" (sexbomb) - As germans we certainly use military comparisons ;-)
Those are great, thanks. Seems like we are not the only ones having strange not too flattering ways of saying this. Schnecke and steiler Zahn is my favourites.
Yeah, Schnecke has some allusions to the female genital while steiler Zahn, well must be from the times when women are treated like horses...
