I'm German, but don't claim to be perfectly fluent. Howsomever, when you enter "Drumpf" or "Drümpf" as a German word in Google Translate and tell it to translate it to English, all it gives back is "Drumpf" (or "Drümpf", depending on whether or not you put the umlaut over the 'u' in the first place). This looks more to me like an example of the old mathematical/engineering/computer science saying, "garbage in, garbage out", about calculations, designs, and data input.wesw wrote:if y0u translate drumpf 0r whatever, fr0m the german, there are tw0 meanings

You know what else you'll find deep in the bowels of the Trump family, don't you? Mounds and mounds of the raw material that makes up Milorganite™.wesw wrote:and if y0u check his family tree, y0u will find the surname Christ, there is a link t0 it s0mewhere, deep in the b0wels 0f the trump thread.....
It then gives, as the OED does, several citations - one which takes us back to 1425. I won't give that one as it's Middle English and I can't do some of the characters. I like this one from 1598:To give forth a trumpet-like sound; spec. to break wind audibly (slang or vulgar)
I have to say I am not very familiar with Mr Florio (actually my education was obviously sadly lacking because until just now I knew nothing about him) but according to Wikipedia, which is always right, he was a pal of Shakespeare.FLORIO, Trombeggiare, . . to snort, to trump or bray as an asse.
