Hm, not bad. Maybe you should try to find the time to re-version the
script of Pulp Fiction?

Actually colloquial Standard German now has gewunken for traditional
gewinkt <- winken "wave (with the hand)".

Another creative use of German I heard was someone stating that he
wouldn't mind winning ein kleines Milliönchen in the lottery. Maybe
German is being verdutchified?
