5 Jan: Ach, Du heilige Scheiße! from kate hers on Vimeo.
Word or Expression: Ach, du heilige Scheiße!
Closest English Translation: Holy Shit
Literal Translation: Oh, you holy shit!
This is actually not an insult, rather an expression of blasphemy. By the way, when I first heard this, I thought someone was calling me a holy shit. The Du – you is not referring to the other party, it’s just a figure of speech.
Btw, this interjection became the title of one of my video works made about curse words and idiomatic expressions.
