Drachenfutter

What does this literally translate to?

The literal translation of Drachenfutter is ‘dragon fodder’.

What is the meaning of Drachenfutter?

It refers to a gift, either physical or in the form of a favour, which men give to their wives or girlfriends to say sorry for staying out late. For example, if a man has stayed out all night he might buy her chocolates to stop her from getting angry at him. So, in other words, he is feeding the dragon! However, I think this can refer to any situation where you buy a gift/do something for someone to stop them from being angry at you.

How would you use it in a sentence?

“Ich bringe Blumen mit mir als Drachenfutter, damit meine Frau nicht böse mit mir ist.”

“I’m bringing flowers with me as Drachenfutter, so that my wife doesn’t get angry at me.”

So don’t do that shit, German or not. That’s cuckistani nonsense.
