It migh...Means "Out,out,...hurry up!"<br />:)<br /><br />It might be some dialect for "Macht Euch raus"<br />often used for kids to get out out of the house / out of the way, sort of like "you (like in you folks) get out".<br /><br />Interesting :D<br /><br />(And my word verification is "hesse" - makes me wonder, grin :D)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06735273216574108695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5378381630177069307.post-10615867483302024422009-07-20T11:28:00.739-05:002009-07-20T11:28:00.739-05:00No idea.

Mom?<br /><br />Also, I just tried to look up "Raus machet" and came up with this phrase used in <i>Oskar Schindler: the Untold Account of His Life</i>, which I think is the basis for <i>Schindler's List</i>:<br /><br />"Raus, raus, macht schnell" which means get off quickly. <br /><br />I wonder if "rousmocket" is really "raus macht" and means almost the same thing as "macht schnell".Pollyannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06489328345319644933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5378381630177069307.post-44436223582116197632009-07-20T11:22:05.244-05:002009-07-20T11:22:05.244-05:00*Snicker*

At least ...Thank you, thank you, thank you Nicole.<br /><br />At least there really is some basis for these phrases - Hubby thinks I'm nuts.<br /><br />It's kind of like the telephone game, the pronounciation has changed over the generations. <br /><br />Well, now that I've been corrected by The Mom, I'll try to remember not to add the G. <br /><br />I had forgotten about "mach schnell" - I need to add that to the arsenal. <br /><br />Can't wait for the day I hear my kids yell at their kids with these two.

I'm not sure why, when or how I used Grouschmockit - perhaps I made the word up or it could be a swear word for all I know. However, if you are using the word, I must have used it a lot:):):)<br /><br />Were you thinking of Grousch-Stroodles a German dough noodle?<br /><br />Anyhow, it's always a great laugh when you hear your children say, OH GOSH, I'M JUST LIKE MY PARENTS!<br />Frightening isn't it?????The Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03527437436426076272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5378381630177069307.post-22361532807241410982009-07-19T19:01:21.513-05:002009-07-19T19:01:21.513-05:00Oh, my goodness.
