In German, those professions actually have different names. The furniture maker is a Schreiner or Tischler (lit. “tablerer”), while the builder is called Zimmermann (lit. “room man”).

The German bible correctly identifies Jesus as a Zimmermann.

I lost my shit when I heard the most formal, scientific way of saying “sex” in German is “geschlechtsverkehr” or genital traffic.

It took me years to realize that “sexual intercourse” is essentially the same thing.
