"What is the English for Rampensau?"

From the Urban Dictionary:

"Rampensau
3 up2 down

Colliquial German for a person, who has got a large history of being on stage either as an actor or actress or a singer or musician or conferencier.

A person, who is almost addicted to having an audience, who 'cannot live without being on stage'.

It actuall means stage pig - rough words but meant nicely!
This actor is such a 'Rampensau', he feels at home at once o any stage."


It was "word of the week as we prepared for the night!




As teachers (past and present) we sought evaluation afterwards. The negatives were: nowhere to sit, poor sound system and no answers to the quiz!
We learnt that it is quite hard to operate Media Player in Greek!

    2. Sorry to hear of Angelos passing, he was a great guitarist. Wasn't his son the up & coming gun-slinger in Western Crete?
