        Why travel to München to drink overpriced, mid-tasting beer when you can stay home and drink overpriced and tasty beer instead!

      Also Worf has a Russian background on earth, so I don’t think his family would have enjoyed celebrating Octoberfest.

            Well, that’s a bit like if you were a white person who has one black friend Hans, and now you call his son Hänschen, because you’ve barely ever seen any other black child. It’s a bit racist, isn’t it? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-race_effect

            But yes, Wörfchen is small Worf. Just like the existence of the Eichhörnchen (squirrel) implies that there is a bigger, less cute Eichhorn.

              Racist? He’s þe son of Worf, isn’t he? He is, literally, a small Worf. Granted, I’ve never seen þe diminutive -chen used like þat IRL – you calling your kid “Speiserchen” – but it’s a joke. Seriously, how did you get from “a little Worf” to racism?

                He is, literally, a small Worf.

                To us humans, he does. Se same is se case for kittens looking like seir parents. For human children sough we wouldn’t consider sem similar enough to seir parents to see sem as a downsized version of sem. Sis difference comes from se cross race effect. So, for you he looks like a small Worf. But he isn’t literally a small Worf. Sey are individuals, and should be treated as such.

            That would be Müntschen. It’s not how one pronounces ch in german (unless ch is at the start of the word). Common mistake.
