Wasserhahn

Do you think of a rooster when you look at your kitchen faucet? You may not see the connection, but apparently Germans do, because their word for faucet -- "Wasserhahn" -- literally means "water rooster." Mine, however, has never said "cock-a-doodle-do" nor woken me up. But if you stare at it long enough, you might just start to see the rooster.
