Die Reis ist nicht so beschwerlich und gefährlich, sonderlich in Friedens Zeiten, wie man sich einbildet, wir hatten das beste Wetter, und auf der gantzen Reis von Londen aus nur einen kleinen Sturma, ja so man über Schottland säglet und im Meyen ausfahrt: -- Der Plan der Stadt und Colloney ist im vorigen Brief versendet und H: Bötschi bringt auch ein.
hernesheir commented on the word ausfahrt
(n): (German) an exit leading from a motorway or Autobahn, the sign markers of which cause a snigger in many an English speaking traveler due to the resemblance of the rear-end of the word to English fart.
cf. flatulence, flatulation, flatulent, borborygmus, and borborygmi.
(As an aside, just hint at these common bodily functions and certain German audiences will roar with laughter.)
