CRANK THAT LOG

Yes. And you have to beat it until it starts shitting

[–] [email protected] 3 points 22 hours ago

Time to sing "Caga tió" and beat a log until it gives us sweet treats...

Very funy, i have one of them. It represents the fertility of the soil.

Defecates is a bad word for that...

Unfortunately, defecating is exactly what it does. It’s not a euphemism. It is literally a pooping log!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

And the log it self is also a represenation of defecation. A similar use of the word log in english also exists.

[–] fjordbasa 2 points 21 hours ago

I think I willfully didn’t make that connection. I’m well aware of the English use of log for poop but I guess I hoped there was some other explanation and didn’t want to believe that it was a basically a pooping piece of poop

Isn't it the same for Christ Child? Or do other Germans in the south get their presents on First day of Christmas? At least I didn't.
