Literally the first rule of Raccoon Club. You don't talk about Raccoon Club.
They know what they did.
Raton-Voleur. In french, thieving ratlets.
Diebbar in German - thief bear
That's simply not true
Haha you got me
But the are definitely called "Müllpandas" which literally translates to trash pandas.
i've never heard this word and i cant find it on the internet. the german word for raccon is waschbär (washing bear) afaik
actually, the official french word for raccon also seems to be raton laveur (washing) and not voleur (stealing), but i dont speak enough french to know if they are called raton voleur in some dialect or slang
It's also washbear (pesukarhu) in Finnish!
Also in Danish (vaskebjørn)
It's a regional expression
Have you encountered raccoons? I've met racoons they'll steal everything from you in a heartbeat, and the mask is a dead giveaway. You think the guys roommate would complain about the raccoons of they came by to do his laundry instead of stealing all his stuff. Laveur is just a typo, Erwin Guttenburger admitted it in 1678 that he tripped while putting the letters in the press for the wildlife almanach. It went out as Raton-loveur at first. Correcting the error would throw the whole books layout out of alignment so the next edition was changed by replacing the O for an A, to put an end to that weird new fetish that was gaining popularity among the literate elite.
The umlaut police have been notified of your egregious transgression.
No it's "raton laveur" which roughly translates as "washing ratlet"
Raccoons sound like dinasaurs killing each other in a black and white movie no joke they are not quiet beasties
What the fuck is a raccoon?
It's a washing bear.
Imagine being a social worker trying to find people housing and one of the guys in the tent city tells you he already rents a place and just wanted see what living in the park was like.
