    The fish sturgeon is called “Stör” in German. The verb “to annoy” means “stören”.

    Most of these memes that were posted recently are puns where random German words that contain “stör” or a simmilar sounding syllable is replaced by the fish.

        German Grammar Fun Fact 3: “Sie” is also “she” and “they” in addition to the formal “you”. Which also means that it can’t work like the gender neutral singular “they” in english.
