it translates to "shoot it down your donkey".
I thought the literal translation was different.
After 4 years of High School German, the main phrase I remember is

"Nicht all Eseln haben vier Beinen"

(not sure if it's correct...I'll let you do the translation :wink:)

EDIT: The other phrase I remember is "ein mass Bier bitte" :beer:

Per the babelfish:

Nicht all Eseln haben vier Beinen = All donkeys do not have four legs

I dig it. Just lob whatever insult we can at the German ski team. Hey! YOUR DONKEY DOESN'T HAVE FOUR LEGS! :lol:

I thought the translation was "not all jackasses have four legs".
In any case, my German teacher used to say it sometimes when he thought it was appropriate... :wink:
