You must have left school much too early to write things like this.
Thor doesn't mean 'fool' in German, it's the scandinavian form for an old Germanic god, named 'Donar' in German.
Donar is related to the German word 'Donner = thunder' andŽe.g. 'Donnerstag'= Thursday.
By the way the scandinavian form 'Thor' made it's way into the English language as exampled in the word 'Thursday'.
Your understanding of the word 'Thor' is probably influenced by the following citation:
Quote:
|
Wer nicht liebt Wein, Weib, Gesang, der bleibt ein Thor sein Leben lang. (Martin Luther)
|
Quote:
|
Whom is not loving wine, broad/dame/ singing, remains to be a Thor his whole life trough. ( Martin Luther)
|
It's only your (and Luther's) understanding that a 'Thor' is a 'fool'; I would rather judge him to be a decent guy.
Anyway Thorhammer probably will be able to enlighten you about the whole thing much better.
