I think it might just be Gesäßschmerzen, since a headache is Kopfschmerzen.

I just asked my german friend for the correct answer. I'll let you all know what he says (probably "Emily, you need to get a life")

I vote for, "Emily, you're a Gesäßschmerzen."

A Gesäßschmerzen is someone who is full of Gesäßschmerzkeit.

I gotta say, if you're going to add keit, then you need to add ig to Gesäßschmerz: Gesäßschmerzigkeit. Voila!

As quoted from my german friend:

Quote

closest would probably be "Nervensaege" (ae is the a Umlaut). Literally it means "sawing on nerves"

Well, now we all know a new word. I asked him for a more literal translation though...

It took a lot of self control to not come and post on this thread during Bishop Burton's talk. I was cracking up.

But I guess it's a sign that the church is true that General Authorities don't indulge in literary devices more often than they do. It's been a few years since Elder Nelson's alliterative tour de force on Peace.

Elder Bednar cracked his first ever joke during a conference talk.

The whole time I was thinking "sarcasm is NOT going to translate into Japanese" and wondering what they would do.

Do you mean the part about cringing or was it something else? I actually felt kind of bad about that.

The part where he said "I know this has NEVER happened in your family, but..."
