On the ferry to Sweden I thought I heard a
German order
a litre of oil at the bar
(Ein Liter Öl)
In fact he was
Swedish, asking for a
small beer (En liten öl, tack)
Liten is a direct translation of
little
Öl (Swedish) is a translation of
ale (English
beer)
Öl (German) is
oil in English
I have also heard English people call beer
Neck Oil
