Giftzwerg

Everyone likes receiving presents. Be it on your birthday or at Christmas, tearing off the colorful wrapping to unveil a surprise gift is something that we never grow tired of. But names can be deceiving - "Gift" in German isn't something that you would ever want to be given! It could be the death of you since it means "poison"! A Giftzwerg is something quite different, but equally unpleasant. A Zwerg is a mysterious being commonly found in German mythology and known in English as a dwarf. He resides in the deep, dark underground and is adept at metallurgy, having crafted many great mythical artifacts. So what is a "poison-dwarf"? A Giftzwerg is an individual who rubs people the wrong way - one who is loud, rude and constantly angry. In a word: obnoxious.
