Anonymous Asks:
I have a German one: Milchbart, which translates to "milk moustache" and refers to the moustache kids often get when drinking milk. It can also be used to refer to a young, inexperienced person (the person sporting the Milchbart himself)

That’s adorable and I love it!
Although, my German is rusty. Is ‘bart’ beard? Or has it expanded to cover all facial hair? Not that I don’t LOVE the idea of a milk beard…

In Dutch it is actually “melksnor”, which does literally mean milk moustache.
