I mean if this is true it really just calls the validity of the whole sport into question. You obviously can’t iron without heat.

Uh, do you think the point of the sport is to de wrinkle clothes?

Yes, of course. Non dewrinkling ironing on the peak of Mt. Everest is for casuals.

Albern, Dumm, Lächerlich? German has words for silly and the concept of silly.

No, parent is right. There is no word for silly in german. Instead, all german words pertaining to silly, also have an untranslatable connotation, a flavour to them, such as "silly, but with a deep undertone of contemplative thought as to how I ended up in this predicament", and so forth.

so ein quatsch!
