And German has adopted all the good English words.

Like Handy (cell phone), Beamer (projector), and body bag (fanny bag).

Oh wait....

I've never heard a fanny pack called a body bag in German. It's a Bauchtasche in my family.
Might have been a regional thing. But I think there was an ad on tv... Didn't live long, was too embarrassing :)

Of course Handy is Schwaebisch: Ai handy kai Schnurr?

Bodybag is more like a messenger bag.
