Watching Monday Night Football, the two starting QB's are Roethlisberger, and Mettenberger.

"Berger" is a German surname meaning "Mountain"or "From the mountain." So, who is King of the Hill?

Right now, Mettenberger, Titans lead 24-13 and Roethlisberger was put on his Keister twice in a row.

Usually spelled keister (there are many alternate spellings), the original meaning of this American slang word is a satchel or suitcase. A later, and now more common sense, is that of a person’s rump or buttocks.

Dating in English to 1882, the term is from the German Kiste meaning box or case—the slang sense of rump also exists in the German. From George Wilbur Peck’s Peck’s Sunshine of that year:
