sprechen ze douche

I have a character wearing a "Yes, Fat Chicks!" T-shirt. When he goes to Germany i want the "Yes, Fat Chicks!" shirt to be in German. I took German back in high school, but surprisingly they didn't teach us how to say that. I know there are some Germans on the forums who write perfect English. Can anyone help me out? How do you write "Yes, Fat Chicks!" in German?

Donkey Show in advance.

Is "Ja, Fett Tussen!" correct?

My German is rusty but I think that 'fett' needs an 'e' on the end to indicate the feminine - I'm also not sure whether the colloquial 'chicks' would translate into anything other than something that would allude to you having a fetish for small fat hens. I'd go for something like 'Ja, fette mädchen!' which translates as 'Yes, fat girls!'

if someone here in germany wears a shirt with a "cool" slogan on it, it´s mostly written in english!
translate it word by word it´s "ja, fette hennen!" but sounds like shit!

"Ja, dicke Maedchen" would be correct, although considering what "dick" means in english . . .

You could use Fraeulein instead of Maedchen, I suppose. That "e" after the "a"s in both words is indicative of an umlaut, the two little dots over the vowel, and should be taken out if an umlaut is used.

Literally translates as "Yes, fat young girls!"

Did you mean "shprechen ze DOUCHE" as a joke, or was that just an honest mistake? Either way, that was pretty damn funny.
