      hard-boiled hexegg. It’s better in German, hartgekoctsechsei.

      edit - ignore me, I thoght it was a half dozen - add a doppel in there maybe.

          I totally made that up by the way so don’t rely on it at all with actual Germans.

          Don’t forget their neighbour with numbers like “quatre-vingt-dix-sept” though, I think theres a reason for so many renowned French mathematicians.
