Hosenstall

When you think of a barn, you usually think of cows, horses, chickens, goats and other farm animals. But Germans sometimes refer to another kind of barn - the "Hosenstall" on your pants, but only when your fly happens to be open. Before leaving the restroom, it's always a good idea to double check your zipper. Getting caught with it open could be embarrassing for you and precarious for whatever is inside the barn. In the picture, the person's pants may be wide open, but fortunately their "Hosenstall" appears to be closed.
