what has the word "verklempt" to do with this comic? i´m german and "verklempt" means someone is prude. its also a rather old word no one really uses anymore.
"verklemmt" is in english too. "uptight". "verklempt" would be, i guess, "Tränan gerührt"? can't remember if i'm just mixing up the expression since it's a literal one in both languages, "moved to tears"
Mike Myers used the word to mean “overcome with emotion and unable to speak” in an SNL skit back in the 90s; for Americans over 40 that’s probably the primary context in which they’ve encountered the word.
