the good german

this is tabea, she's german. she's also a cellist and a barista that i work with. she's playing in a competition this weekend and needed to practice playing in front of an audience so we had a mini-recital after work on monday. she's playing a couple of movements from bach's 'six suites for cello in c minor'. not dissimilar to sonatas and partitas for violin (of tognetti fame) - incredibly beautiful and almost mournful. she's very funny though. she has a very precise way of speaking that i find myself adopting now and then. i taught her the word slag today. she found it hilarious.

slag the verb, or slag the noun??

in response: slag as a very anti-feminist, derogatory feminine adjective. as in "she's such a slaaag." a la 'neighbours' or some such.
