Founding father Benjamin Franklin secured the alliance with France that led to victory in the Revolutionary War, negotiated the Treaty of Paris ending said war, signed the Declaration of Independence and the U.S Constitution, discovered that lightning was electrical, invented bifocal glasses, wrote the famous Poor Richard’s Almanac, and ran newspapers.

Yeah, but let’s come up with a better term. The German term isn’t much better.

What's the German term?

My translator is saying Flaftenvaften is a Danish term meaning, "the evening of the fluttering" lol
