On English lemmy there are countless situations in which people fail to pick up on jokes/wordplay. I imagine the same happens quite often in any media in any language.
Probably because a lot or them (especially _iel) use literal letteral translations, nobody in their right mind would use in everyday conversations. Like in this post with “michmichs”.
My wife is fluent in German and while she can read the memes she doesn’t understand half of them
Don’t worry, ich_iel is confusing for native speakers as well.

I presume your wife just needs more literalism and brain worms / absurdism
Or a labotomy, but I prefer the way she is. Guess we’ll just have to “huh” together for a little while longer.
