Innerer Schweinehund 🐷🐶

"Inner Pig-Dog"

Hallo zusammen!

Today’s topic is one of my favorite weird German expressions: „der innere Schweinehund.“ Literally, it means something like “the inner pig-dog.”

The expression has existed for over a hundred years and was originally used for something unpleasant or hard to control. Over time, it became a very common way in German to describe a certain inner struggle that probably all of us know.

What exactly it means… you’ll quickly understand once you read the dialogue 👀
