Dirtweasle Posted August 18, 2000 Share Posted August 18, 2000 I could of sworn I heard the German troops say, "puka puka" (sp?). I have searched here, and looked on a German / English dictionary, but cannot find a translation. Just WTF is puka puka? Or am I hearing things? BTW, searching this BBS for variants of puka, pooka, etc. as lead me to a discuusion on hamsters and polka or some such, very stimulating...

Guest Germanboy Posted August 18, 2000 Share Posted August 18, 2000 Maybe they are Bavarian Space Orcs shouting 'Budda Budda' in a strange voice. It is not German, sounds like an Indian take-away (famous Pukkah Pies - they're delicious...) ------------------ Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Aitken Posted August 19, 2000 Share Posted August 19, 2000 If you listen very carefully, it suddenly dawns on you that that's not the sound of a Tiger's idling engine... it's actually the chanting choirs of the spirits of the undead. Just listen to it long enough (5-8 hours should do it) and you'll see what I mean.

The Commissar Posted August 19, 2000 Share Posted August 19, 2000 Well Dirtweasel, your men's problem is indeed rodent related, but the rodent in question is far from your ordinary hamster. It is with great sadness that I must inform you, your men have picked up one of those god-awful Pokemon. I believe the mouse-like yellow one by the name of Pikachu often makes a similar sound - "Pika-Pika". I should know, since one of my younger siblings likes these abominations of an Anime show, and insist on running around the house screaming "Pika-Pika" at the top oh his little lungs. Anyway, if this is the case, I suggest you run your infected squad into clear LOS of the nearest nearby Sherman, flamethrower squad, or 150mm mortar fire.

Your troops are obviously the notorious SS-Zechbrigaden, who terrorised Europe while out of their skulls on a lethal combination of Jägermeister, Asbach Uralt, and Norman Cider. There are several recorded instances of SS-ZBs taking out Cromwells at over 1000 yards with their dreaded Model 3 Kraftkotzen (Ausf. PB). Their fearsome battle-cry of "Pooka, Pooka!" refers to their regimental mascot, a six-feet-three-and-a-half inches high invisible rabbit named Harvey. ------------------ Ethan ----------- Das also war des Pudels Kern! -- Goethe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M Hofbauer Posted August 20, 2000 Share Posted August 20, 2000 Dirtweasle, though I haven't heard it in the game yet, it isn't unthinkable that what you heard is in the game. "Pauke Pauke!" was a radio code word meaning "attack!" and used by the german nightfighter crews, something remotely like "Horrido!" (german hunter's vocabulary, meaning something like "have a good hunt!", also used by dayfighters etc., probably also by "tank-hunting" tank crews), and since WW2 it aquired quite some popularity outside that special usage as a general word for something in the area of "let's attack!", "get it on!" Pauke in itself is the german word for drum. I am not an ethymologist, but guess the usage above might stem from the drum thing, you know, like, "beat the drum", nowadays people would say "hit the bass" or "beat beat beat beat!" Hope this helps, yours sincerely, M.Hofbauer ----------- in-side inside out, in-side inside out, in-side, inside out, inside inside inside out, in-side inside out, in-side inside out, in-side, inside out, inside inside upside down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
