hier:verpfiffen werden Explanation: also: Wenn mich obendrein noch jemand bei der Polizei verpfiffen hätte... eine Lampe bauen - der Polizei einen Hinweis geben ( basierend auf dem Jargon-Lexikon unten- kannte selber den Ausdruck in dieser Form nicht, daher low CL) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2006-09-12 15:16:41 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- der Link scheint nicht zu funktionieren- so hab ich ihn gefunden: Modellversuch zur Heroingestützten Behandlung. 6 Jargon. 7 Literatur. 8 Weblinks ... Hero - Heroin; eine Lampe bauen - der Polizei einen Hinweis geben ... therapeut-nürnberg.de/index.php/Heroin Reference: http://therapeut-nürnberg.de/index.php/Heroin |

Kopf Explanation: Without more context, I'll post what first came to my mind when reading your question: "einen auf die Lampe bekommen" would be a colloquial way to say "to get hit on the head". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 17 Stunden (2006-09-13 08:04:28 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Should be CL2. The expression would be understand by everybody, but doesn't seem to fit the context very well. |
