"Herr" means, literally, "Mister", and also "Master" and "Lord", in the
British sense of a squire ("Ah, here comes young Master James...").
"Herrlich" means "splendid". The term has a bourgeois ring to it, all in
all.
So what's your angle on your talk on the US decline? Does, like, the EU
get to repossess New York if things go sour on Wall Street, or
something like that?
