Wait is Mensch now a term English uses as well? I'm German so this was a pleasant surprise that we don't just have Blitzkrieg

Well, there's a metric fuckton of english words that have been adapted to the german language. I would be surprised if that was a one-way road.

Oh God I just realised it's probably taken from "Untermensch" wasn't it...?

Naw. "Untermensch" was derived from "Mensch" as a subset of racist classifications during the early 1900s. It's a very derogatory term that no one with an IQ above room temperature uses.

I'm German my friend. I know that. What I was trying to say is that the word came to use in English at the time of WW2 and the word "Mensch" was picked out of it.

I was trying to hypothesize the origin of the use of Mensch for English folk
