"jemand, der verbeamtet ist?"
in the back woods of the Black Forest that means: "Who's in charge here?"
Literally it translates: "Anybody, there in official capacity is?" Germans
are goofy-ass grammarians, let me tell you.

> Does anyone know what "verbeamtet" means? As in "jemand, der verbeamtet
ist..."? It's not in my dictionary. It's not in my online dictionary. I
googled it on Google.de and then hit the automatic translate button (which
is really terrible when it comes to any translating, but I thought it would
give me some sort of idea) and it didn't translate. I'm out of ideas.
