You're listening to Away with Words, a show about language and how we use it. I'm Grant Barrett.

And I'm Martha Barnett. The other day I was telling a friend about an experience that I had in which I ended up standing

there surprised and disappointed and looking kind of forlorn and at a loss.

And she said, oh, ordered and not picked up.

And I said, what?

And I was so confused when she said that.

But then we finally realized that she's a native German speaker.

And that's a borrowing of a German phrase.

Oh, so it's like the takeout counter?

Yes.

Oh.

Yes, I was standing there like the pizza that got ordered and then nobody picked me up.

Oh, yeah. That's kind of perfect. I know. I know. So I'm totally borrowing that. Ordered and not picked up for somebody who looks a little lost for words or lost in space. Yes. Isn't that nice? Yes, it's very good. Well, it led me to a treasure trove of other Germans saying, so I will share those later in the show.

Yes, please.
