Oh, I found it quite funny. German is a fine language. I wish I had forgotten it faster (or was it the other way around?).

Dont lie, you're clearly a woman.

the title means that IN THE SHOW everbody loves raymond 🙂 not everyone loves the show and WOOT! WOOT! is like saying yipee or woo hoo.

I'm not sure that anybody in the show loves Raymond. Certainly his brother (the one with the Bowser-like bass voice) doesn't. Nor does his father (or father-in-law -- played by the fellow who starred as the monster in Young Frankenstein, Peter Boyle). His wife doesn't seem too keen on him either, for that matter.

Incidentally, I had a bit of a crush on one of the two actresses who played his wife. Don't know the actress' name. I rather fancy it was the more petite of the two. I can't seem to find any record of her now on Google. It wasn't Patricia Heaton.

It may sound as if I actually watched this program, but I didn't. The only thing worse, in my opinion, on American television in recent years is Home Improvement with Tim Allen (the scoundrelly cocaine dealer cum bourgeois Everyman). Almost makes one long for Stalinism. Which is worse: big pictures of Stalin everywhere, or The Santa Clause movies? A real poser...

As for "WOOT! WOOT!" I don't know which planet you come from but I'm sure that Doctor Zaius would approve.

Oh yeah...and Americans didn't come up with woot woot anyways that was England with their rugby

The English may have invented rugby but if the crude expostulation in question did indeed originate in the Commonwealth (doubtful) I'd bet the Australians are guilty.

Dr. Zaius, though himself an ape, was appalled by crude, gorilla behavior, so I don't think that he would have approved.

He approved of it in humans. There was that little matter of vivisection...

Stop trawlling through the forums advertising your web site which, incidently, populates really slow and has hardly any members, none of consequence.

Perhaps this warrants some explanation for our foreign friends.

Here in America audiences, especially males in the audience, have developed an inexplicably crude and ape-like manner of expressing their approval: instead of clapping or cheering in the traditional fashion, they pump their fists in the air and shout "WOOT! WOOT! WOOT!" again and again. ...[text shortened]... by my normal writing voice.

My apologies for any confusion this might have entailed.

Internet translation applications have clearly improved in recent times, but to be pedantic "ich liebe Raymond nicht" is a more natural way of saying it in German, unless you're about to tell us who you really love!

If you say so, old chap -- I really wouldn't know.
