Subject Ungeschickt laesst gruessen! Tollpatsch!
A mother says this to her clumsy child. Who will you translate it into English?

Tollpatsch = clumsy clot

I wouldn't. Any mother calling her child something like that should be strung up,
Thanks, Bacon! Wholeheartedly agree!!!

So you're saying, don't use bad words at all, just cuff their ears without warning? That's tough...

That was pretty ham-fisted, you clumsy oaf!

Unfortunately some parents do speak to their kids like this.
Then they moan that their kids lack confidence later in life.

String the child up as well, I say
