I am grateful that you guys reply in English, in a German forum. The semantics are not important.

I'd say that the semantics is the only thing that's important if one is trying to understand and be understood - though the fox is a side-issue here, of course: so in that sense, you're right!

Balg, in German at least, can mean the skin, hide or pelt of a fox. In another sense (more correctly Blasebalg, perhaps) it might also mean a 'bellows' - an apparatus to provide air under pressure. I guess this double-meaning might occur in other languages, too?

My German is not brilliant, so when I use Ger/Eng-Eng/Ger dictionaries to translate I generally check back the other way as well, just in case.

Double meanings are fun!

Double meanings are fun!

For example:
A lady walked into a bar and asked the barman for a double entendre - so he gave her one.

Regarding double meanings: my first name is Bent. The British friend that hilarious. (As in not straight…)

Es ist mir gerade eingefallen, daß der Modellnahme ,Neptun' daher stammt, daß der gleichnahmiger Herrscher aller Gewässer ständig einen Dreizack führt. Kann das stimmen? Ich fühl mich eigentlich ein bisschen stumpfsinnig, daß es mir erst jetzt eingefallen ist.
