Here is something interesting I just read on wikipedia (org) about the English word "doodle" (meaning: an unfocused drawing made while a person's attention is otherwise occupied.)
The word doodle first appeared in the early 17th century to mean a fool or simpleton. It derives from the German dudeln, to play (originally, to play the bagpipe or dudel). German variants of the etymon include Dudeltopf, Dudentopf, Dudenkopf, Dude and Dödel.

@Sk8taboy3 Thanks. I looked up Dödel and it translates to "fool" or "idiot".
I looked on wiktionary (org) and it said:
Dödel ist: eine umgangssprachliche Bezeichnung für einen Trottel
Translation:
Dödel is: a slang term for an idiot

@Sk8taboy3 Thanks. I did a google translation for Doofgesicht and it said "Goofy face".

Doofgesicht Not doofusgesicht :D and: dödel not turtel!

@Sk8taboy3 Thank you. I made the correction for dödel.
But I still hear "Dorf Gesicht" rather than "Doof Gesicht".
I put translations for both, just because I'm not sure.

I think it's funny to hear Ginger speaking in German. Ginger is often bossy and the German language kind of fits her, lol.
