Super, man sollte vor allem in der düsteren Büroatmosphäre nie vom Text abweichen, sich auf die Sache konzentrieren, um so schnell wie möglich wieder raus in den Wald gehen zu können!
Ha ha ha! Yes, clothes hangers can be used as paper clips, and this one indeed looks like a tiny clip made especially for that purpose. I have similar ones at my office.
thank you, Sami.
The pun only works in German - the word "Klammer" means both, a peg or a clip. And a paper clip is called "Büroklammer", that is literally bureau clip.
In Finnish clothespin is "pyykkipoika" and direct translation of that would be a "laundry boy", probably because of the similarity with human figure. Then the paperclip in Finnish is "paperiliitin", pretty much the same as in English. But we also call paperclip as "klemmari".
