Haha, I remember trying to tell a German colleague that another colleague was ‘ingverklerten’ because he had red hair, apparently the German word for ginger is not used to represent colour. Almost as popular as our attempt to call someone a ‘glockenende’ when they had been foolish. Sounds like I should look into ich_iel a bit.
What you should tell your German colleague about the ginger is "Wo das Dach rostig ist, ist der Keller feucht."
But also; rusty crotch, pubes like 13A fuse wire
Fun fact: pubes have the same color as someone's eyebrows.
