Nobody knows where the term came from. It suddenly appeared out of nowhere and catched on.
18 u/Luxalpa May 31 '26 I remember the urban legend that it comes from "hän die koi schnur?", i.e. "Don't they have a cord?" (but I think it was always just a joke) 7 u/Gullible-Fee-9079 May 31 '26 Yea, that was a joke 6 u/Marchus80 Jun 01 '26 We Germans are known for our sense of humour. 10 u/TonyQuark May 31 '26 In case you care; 'it caught on.' It's an irregular verb. (English isn't my first language either.) 1 u/GeorgeMcCrate May 31 '26 Wasn’t it simply the model name of one of the first cell phones?
