Witzige/Wichtige Worte on Wednesday II: "Ohne Witz!"

ohne Witz: "without joke"; no joke, not kidding, seriously (I think you get the picture.)

I think "ohne Witz" is pretty clear. There shouldn't really be too much confusion as to when and how to use this phrase. I'm just talking about it, because I think it's fun to say. Oohhhh-neWitz! Plus, it's something one of my hostsisters would say all the time. And, since I thought it was so much fun to say, I would repeat it every time she said it. I was doing it so much, it started to become an automatic response! Ohne Witz!



Also, I just wanted to clarify what each of the parts of the first line are.
German word/phrase: "literal translation (if there is one)"; our English equivalent

Bis bald!
