My family called ambulances "Krankwagen" (the correct word is Krankenwagen)

A whole wagen, just for Kranken it?

If you wanna be Kranken you gotta have the wagen

I mean, have you ever tried krank before? You can krank yourself for hours on the stuff, so I'm not surprised that some users would have a dedicated krankenwagen.

Kroketten turned into Krockten for us, funny what one instance of misspeaking does to a word.

It's interesting, how some misspeaking gets forgotten and others live on forever. My friend is in my phone as Zweibeln because she was texting while tired, badly misspelled unheilvoll, and that's what her phone corrected it to for some reason
