Hey, I've been trying to read your last reply to me in the thread "Which clitorally translates as..." for over an hour now, but I keep getting time-outs before the thread is completely transferred to my system. I think the thread has become too long.
I can't even read my own message there any more.
Maybe you could quote my message there, add your reply and then drop them here? I'd be grateful.

Ah, I didn't know about these german translations.
Maybe "snorren" is also used for purring cats here as well, but I can't confirm that. It just sounds a bit weird to me
