Do you have an actual question? Anyway, /r/german is the language learning subreddit.
Are you referring to the phrase “kissing cousins”?
This has nothing to do with incest. Kissing cousins are relatives that are related to you closely enough for you to greet with a kiss (you know, a polite kiss on the cheek); metaphorically, they are things that are related or very similar to each other.
It’s not a common phrase, but it is a phrase that exists.
What is the book name and author please? Is it good?
toohnel
‘ “IPA”, was ist das? ‘
What book is this?
Kissing cousins. Ah, now the political situation in Germany makes more sense 😁😁
