Also bei uns ist dat ganz klar en Metaller...manche sagen auch Metlar...was ich total bescheuert finde...es heißt Metaller!!

In my language it is a Metaller! Others like to say Metlar but I think it's not correct! It is definitively a Metaller!

I hate my knowledge in English...aaaaah :D

Oh, and by the way, Russians use the word "Metaller" (like in English) as well. :)


ok, added it - I think that one and "metal head" is used nearly everywhere, so I'm rather collecting the non-international terms... makes the list more funny :D

I get called emo quite a lot by morons at school.

The majority of british youth has no clue what a MetalHead is, generally they'll call them goths, grungers, greebos or emos.
