on Iternet. Here are three sites:

Amazing how little curiosity our member have. I added astlochgucker, to see if anybody
would notice. If I tell you "loch = hole" and "gucker = peeper" would you think the word
meant proctologist?

Dear Faldage: Would a German proctologist be an arscharzt? I'll have to go look it up.
I found one site:
'Als Moderator dieser sinnvonnen Diskussion möchte ich
unseren Fäkalprofi und zukünftigen Arscharzt G. F. einladen."
