#4  He is referring to the Ziegfeld girls dressed for a fencing match, I suspect.

#3  Maybe, Iblis. It looks like badly spelled German, sort of.


"Kampf" = war, fight

"Mit" generally means "with" but can have other meanings, depending on the context.

"Schlagger" (not "schlogger") = a type of music popular in Germany & other European countries

"Fect" isn't a German word, or even a German spelling. "Fecht" (pronounced "fect" with a gutteral sound at the end), however, is a another German word for "fight" (I think in terms of one-on-one or possibly boxing) (I had to look that one up).

"zehr gut" should be "sehr gut" ("very good").

So apparently EE is trying to say "fightfight with music. very good."

Or some such.

I have no idea why.

Perhaps EE can enlighten us?
