Arschkarte

== German == === Etymology === Unknown, apparently from Arsch (“arse”) +‎ Karte (“card”). According to a popular urban legend, the origin of this term can be found in soccer, more exactly the red card. Since on black-and-white televisions the yellow and red card could not be distinguished, the yellow card was held in the front pocket, while the referee pulled the red card from his trouser pocket. Since the 1990s. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈaːɐ̯ʃkaʁtə/ === Noun === Arschkarte f (genitive Arschkarte, plural Arschkarten) (slang, vulgar) bad luck ==== Declension ==== ==== Derived terms ==== die Arschkarte ziehen die Arschkarte zeigen === Further reading === “Arschkarte” in Duden online “Arschkarte” in Digitales Wörterbuch der deutschen Sprache “Arschkarte”, in Online-Wortschatz-Informationssystem Deutsch (in German), Mannheim: Leibniz-Institut für Deutsche Sprache, 2008–
