Some like their eyebrows to be in different shapes, according to what’s in fashion. I just get mine waxed occasionally to get rid of the random hairs that aren’t on the main line of my eyebrows. They’re not that noitceable, to be honest, so I don’t get round to having it done very often.
Some women even put on products to make their eyebrows different colours. The two ladies at that department store applied products without me asking, so I walked out at the end with very obviously brown eyebrows
Like this: “AAAAAaaaAAaaaaaaAAAAAAaaaaaa”
(the “a” as in “cat”, of course)
It’s not that painful, anyway It just stings a bit.
That reminds me when I met him in Berlin. I’ve talked in public in english many times, but that time I was strangely freezedfrozen. In my former job I had to deal quite often with famous people, and it never tingled my emotions… But that time I was excited. Fun, like being child again.
He staring at me, me babbling nonsense. And probably the fact of being dressed as a rasta hot hair balloon* didn’t help.
I think that in Dutch, like in English, haar uittrekken/tearing out hair (ausreißen) refers only to hair on your head, in a presumably unhealthy way.
Maybe Heinrich Heine already did. This topic reminded me of it:
tl;dr for English speakers: there’s a metaphor about an ape who sees a man shaving. He properly soaps his face and takes out the blade but accidentally cuts his own throat. In this metaphor Heine’s word is like the razor.
Frozen.
The time I met Wil Wheaton the only thing I could think to say was something stupid like “when will you do another Radio Free Burrito?”
Well, can you pull out (a) hair without being “unhealty”? “Außreißen” in German implies that it hurts. I can’t think of a German word that describes pulling out a hair without hurting the person.
I’m pretty sure I could pull out most if not all of my eyebrow hairs without it hurting. It’s basically the same as those couple of weird, annoying, itchy ear hairs you might tweeze, not like head or beard hair.
Epileren/epilieren does sound rather… cold and creepy. Luckily natural is in vogue.
It just stings a bit.
Synonyms are: duck, shear and eradicate.
You pluck 'em.
