In Dutch we call the mayor a burgermeester, which can be literally translated into burger master.

You don't elect mayors, you elect burger kings

There were couple of ... um, puppet animators back in the 1970's who did a bunch of holiday specials, Arthur Rankin and Jules Bass. The villain in one of their specials is named Burgermeister Meisterburger.

That's the best thing I've heard all week. Thanks for that.

This is gold.

It's burgemeester, without the r, so you can't literally translate it to master of the citizens. The burg here doesn't refer to burger, but to burg, master of the bourough

Literal translation would be: ‘citizen master’ as ‘een burger’ is a citizen. Sorry to spoil the fun.

ye.. and in german it is "Bürgermeister"

[–] autriyo@feddit.org 6 points 1 day ago

German does that as well.

Apologies for the fandom link, but Craig Alanson might have been mocking you.

No one will tell me what all this is about--but I will find out.
