From PJJ Wiki

From #English on QuakeNet

01:32 <Luke007> up to the puke <<<<<is that so ok in english?^^
01:32 <Luke007> or
01:32 <Luke007> up to the break open
01:32 <Luke007> ``??
01:36 <Jezral> Luke007, need more context to determine that.
01:40 <Luke007> ehm
01:40 <Luke007> i am from germany^^
01:41 <Luke007> and i want to know if an english people understand that
01:41 <Jezral> 'puke' is to be sick / throw up...
01:41 <Jezral> I'm not entirely sure what you want to say.
01:42 <Jezral> Write it in a German sentence. I might be able to read it.
01:42 <Luke007> up to the break open
01:42 <Luke007> ok
01:42 <Luke007> bis zum erbrechen
01:43 <Luke007> when somebody eat so more that he ... (it comes out of him that eat)
01:43 <Jezral> Ok, so it has to do with vomiting.
01:44 <Luke007> yes
01:44 <Jezral> "when somebody eat so more that he": throws up / vomits / pukes
01:44 <Luke007> bis zum erbrechen <<<that in english^^
01:44 <Luke007> until to vomits?
01:45 <Jezral> "Eat till he throws up" would fit your example.
01:46 <Jezral> "bis zum erbrechen" can't be the whole phrase...what's the entire sentence you need translated?
01:47 <Luke007> that Graphikdrivers are bis zum erbrechen optimized
01:49 <Jezral> That's slang then. Can't translate it directly. Need to find a similar extremity for something that's overdone.
01:50 <Luke007> ok thx
01:51 <Luke007> that i want know
01:54 <Jezral> I'm not that good at slang, but maybe "...are fanatically optimized." "...are optimized more than nature itself."
