Yeah, I was going to ask you about the ß but Tim got there first. It is very easy.

Just think about it as being one of those old "s"s that look like "f" from back in the 1800s or earlier (Plea?e be it known now to all Men pre?ent...) with a cursive "z" (which looks like a 3) attached to it. ?3 > ß.
The sound is just "ss".
The sound is just "ss".
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

"Muckefuck" sounds to me like "Schmutzenficken" sounds to you.

Moockefoock, though with short "oo"s. I'm guessing it's more the spelling that's funny. *NM*

Sort of like "book" for both "u"s and with a short "uh" sound for the "e".

Well, Norwegian is closer to Dutch than Swedish and Danish are.

I always grimace a little when I hear "pupsik". Always sounds like "poopsicle" to me. *NM*
