Hi Ben,
If it's just a decent indicator stand you're after, forget the Mits and go for a Noga. I think they might even be a little cheaper?

'Puppi' is the German diminuitive for 'Puppe': a small doll. So a 'Puppitaster' is a 'baby test indicator'..... a perfectly legitimate German word.
Mahr chose to abbreviate it to 'PuppiTAST' in line with their other instruments ending in 'TAST'.Cheers,
Joe

The diminutive for Puppe is Püppchen. I have never heard someone say puppi instead. The word Puppi does not exist in Duden, the most exhaustive German language's inventory of lexemes there is (http://www.duden.de/suchen/dudenonline). The closest word that you can find is puppig, a rather rarely used adjective meaning cute, graceful, doll-like. However puppigtast is not an easy flowing word.... puppytast is, so maybe this is where it comes from? I guess we will never know exactly.

Well; that's something new.
Contradicting somebody about the knowledge of their native language.
I'm with you Jo.

My money is on Joe's explanation…
SimonGirl, I don't wanna know about your mild-mannered alter ego or anything like that." I mean, you tell me you're, uh, super-mega-ultra-lightning babe? That's all right with me. I'm good. I'm good.
