Ghosts say 'buh' in German? I initially read it as 'bruh' which was equally funny

Yeah, pronunciation is the same as the English "boo".

Yes they do. Confusingly we also use "Buuh!" for booing someone who's performance sucked

Right? I'm always fascinated how similar English and German are too. Took me a few seconds to realize that "buh" translates to "boo".

It's pronounced the same, too.

Actually 🤓 lol is a German acronym meaning "lachen ohne Laute" (laughing without sounds)

It's not but I heard a kid say so once
