That’s funny! Do you say “an Irish goodbye” in English when someone leaves without saying goodbye? In German, we say “einen polnischen Abgang machen”, which literally means “to make a Polish exit.” (Apologies to my Polish friends!)

Edit:

Just learned international Names for it:

Germany: Polnischer Abgang (Polish exit)

United States & Ireland: Irish goodbye

United Kingdom: French exit

France: filer à l'anglaise (to leave the English way)

Poland: wyjść po angielsku (to leave the English way)

I don't know if the origin of "Dödel" really meant fool or simpleton, but in modern German it is little children speech for your little "peepee", and it theres no other meaning for this word left. Perhaps back then it already had this meaning and it simply translates to "Yankee wiener" or something similar..

Season 2 took way too long... I love this show. But I'm not capable of watching another cliffhanger at the and of the season and then wait another eternity...
