Notes to answerer

Ramey Rieger (X) you don't turn up here with a brat/urchin/gamin. Expressed a bit more strongly. The language is crude.

Ramey Rieger (X) brat is even better.

Helen Shiner What a hideous situation! There's a temptation to overtranslate here, though. But easy to allow our upset to get in the way.

Ramey Rieger (X) I honestly don't think this over-translating. German texts are often less emotional then English ones. This especially applies to U.S. English. Modifiers are a must.
