offtopic: does the word "kiosk" exist in english? really? Yeah Phrygus, Telephone Kiosk (Phone box in the street) or a Kiosk selling some odds and ends at a busy station. It's now an English word. My German friend was amazed that I used the word "Kitsch" to describe banal crap..LOL! He said "That's exactly the same word in German!" I reassured him that it was the same word, now adopted in English! But i guess the word "Handy" for cell phones will never be adopted, will it? It a weird creation of word either. I havent found any explanation for it, as it means in english something different. And to make it more odd, only germans are using this expression.
