What does "doomkoff" mean? (i dont know if i spelt it right)?

Question

im pretty sure its german, and i keep hearing people say it : /

Answer 1

The spelling is Dummkopf, and yeah, it means idiot or stupid.

Answer 2

Pretty much if you keep hearing people say that to you, it means that you are not the "sharpest tool in the shed," if you know what I'm saying...

However, some simply say "ignorance is bliss."

Answer 3

It just means dumb - head ; Kopf means head in German . It is insulting and whoever says it only shows their lack of  civility, not their intelligence .

Answer 4

Dummkopf is a weak insult

you can call your friends Dummkopf too without being insulting

dumb head or stupid head is the translation as mentioned above

Answer 5

It is German for "dumb head." It is a parallel to 'idiot' in English.

Answer 6

It seems every time geier answers every one gets a thumb down I wonder why?

I am not accusing you but it is the same with Bern too. Is this just some one else doing it and just a coincidence for it happens a lot. Just wondering.

People got negatives that had said the same as the agreed answer so why were they thumbed down?

Answer 7

You're thinking of "dummkopf"; it literally translates to "dumb head" or "stupid head" ("kopf" being "head" in English).  In English, in most circumstances, we'd probably use "idiot".

Answer 8

wrongly spelled,i'm german,and when germans don't like others,they just kall them ''doomkoff''(sorry!we germans like to mock alittle.)it's like kalling some one  an idiot,dumb,or a bad insult

Answer 9

dum kauff ( I think is the spelling) literally means Dumb Head.

We would use idiot or some other more vile words to get the point across here in  the U.S.

Answer 10

"Dummkopf" is a light insult which is used in a rather friendly, non-insulting manner. It's a rather old-fashioned insult which the younger generations hardly use anymore.

The English translation that comes closest would be knucklehead. Idiot is definitely too harsh.

Answer 11

it translates to Idiot in English, your spell it Dumm Kampf literally means Dumb Head.
