I think it means "I had a good birthday" in German.

It's something that you have to pay extra for in Amsterdam.

nothing at all, what does it mean to you (based on the Google results, it means something to you...why don't you enlighten us poor dumb schmucks?)

It's not German. Possibly Norse or Dutch, but German doesn't have double as.

Oh, it was, it was there BIG TIME...

It's somewhat of a cross between a call to arms, a mating call, a hip-hip-hooray for grown ups acting like kids on crack, your favorite cocktail, and a Viking war and party spirit. If that helps.

Anway that's what it means to me.

It is what I say when I have a wet fart while driving on I-80 after I already passed the rest area by Lovelock.

Years ago, a Norwegian named Lars Naarsforten was finally going to Burning Man after wanting t for years. But he was unprepared, didn't read the survival guide...ended up coming about 2 weeks too soon. Got stranded out by the trash fence in the midday sun, ran out of water, and died of dehydration and heatstroke. They didn't find his mummified corpse until a year later. But he can heard during night time duststorms, moaning, moaning that he missed Burning Man. Looking for some people to hang out with, haunting Black Rock City forever.

Ooh, it does sound kind of like a squishy fart.
