Ich habe heute etwas Etymologieforschung betrieben und einige Wörter nachgeschlagen in Illustriertes Lexikon der Deutschen Umgangssprache ab 1984.
Ich musste nicht lange nach diesen Bildern suchen. Ziemlich unerwartete Bilder aus einem scheinbar seriösen Nachschlagewerk.

Calling it „serious reference work“ is a bit of a stretch. Try looking up any of these words in a Duden, I doubt you’ll even find 10%. And no, most of our standard dictionaries don’t contain soft porn.
Which ‚german dictionary‘ was that? Like a Duden? Those words are ALL either lewd or silly. This does not seem like an actual proper dictionary but a novelty gag product.
Maybe it was for free or from BILD. But no serious Dictionary. The normal one is called Duden in Germany.
Because the picture is an advertising for a big and old woman underwear company in Germany.
I’m sorry, but Dutchies ruined the word ‚Klaps‘ for me
Och ja geef me een klap papa
Its title literally translates as „Illustrated lexicon of German colloquial speech“: it’s basically the Urban Dictionary in print form.
This isn’t representative of all German dictionaries. It is true that attitudes have changed a lot in the last 40 years and you might not get away with this these days, but it illustrates some of its entries with photographic artworks and adverts.
Some of them seem a bit gratuitous, but there is an attempt to make serious points. I would call this not „unexpected“, but „unnecessary“.
In any case, it’s not „German dictionaries“. It’s *this* dictionary, which is exactly what it claims to be.
The book isn’t from the 1980 really, the words are from 1930-60, so they really aren’t used anymore. Also, the author obviously used the illustrations as a „shock factor“.
And yeah, he’s a doctor, in Latin philology lol
I really want to know that is.
I’m learning German and it could really help. 😁
