Advertisement

Stammtisch (noun) [ /'ʃtɑːmˌtɪʃ/ ] (meaning "the regulars table", where you know there's always someone there you know so you can just turn up):
A sacred German tradition that transforms a regular table at your local watering hole into a fortress of enlightenment and shenanigans. This is where beer flows more freely than the local river, and wisdom is dispensed with the generosity of a Bavarian baker handing out pretzels. Picture a group of friends, neighbors, or just random wizards-of-the-everyday holding court over their favorite table, engaging in discussions that solve the world's problems (or at least, deciding whose turn it is to pay for the next round). It's like a board meeting, if everyone on the board was slightly tipsy and the agenda was anything from football tactics to the philosophical implications of the latest village gossip. In essence, the Stammtisch is Germany's unofficial think tank, operating on the principle that all great ideas start on a napkin, preferably one soaked in beer.
