Thanks for the German lesson. I might just have to tweet a hearty ‘Halt dem Rand’ at them next time I see them spewing out their propaganda.

You can be ‘Ohne (without) Rand’ meaning borderless, or you can be ‘Voll bis zum Rand’ (full to the brim).

Children, usually, can be ‘Ausser (outside) Rand and Band’. This is translated as going crazy or wild, being beside one’s self.

Marginalising people is achieved linguistically by ‘pushing them on the Rand’ (Jemanden an den Rand drängen) and so it goes on throwing up interesting reflections but I will sign off with one last but fitting slang idiom: ‘Halt dem Rand’ (Shut up).
