I >think it has nothing to do with Lambchop (: > What does "Dumpfbacke" mean? I don't think you can translate "Dumpfbacke". Do you know the american T.V. series of the Bundys? If so, than you know their blond daughter Kelly. I don't know, what her original american nickname is, but in the german version of the series her nickname is "Dumpfbacke". If you translate it word by word, than it's what Dann wrote: dull cheek. The real meaning of the german word is something like "stupid", "dumb", "dumbhead". But it's a nicer way of calling someone stupid, "Dumpfbacke" sounds very funny in german. :-) Heiko.
