Frederick the Great, discussion post 6

[cahn]

...I think we need another one (seriously, you guys, this is THE BEST) and I'd better make it now before I disappear into the wilds of music performance.

(also, as of this week there are two Frederician fics in the yuletide archive and eeeeeeeeeee)
(huh, only one of them is actually tagged with Frederick the Great even though two with Maria Theresia and Wilhelmine, eeeeeee this is awesome I CAN'T WAIT)

Re: Prince Heinrich as mediator

[selenak]

"Herzog" - from her ziehen - in this case means "dragged", as in, Amalie dragged the late SD.
I believe that's an English expression, too? Über jemanden herziehen = to drag someone, to bitch/negatively gossip about someone.

"Dragged" was actually my first choice for a translation! But it's so slangy I decided against it. (It's too recent even to be in either of my usual go-tos for online English dictionaries.)

Thanks!
