Ela's column from 7sky Magazine, Issue #85 «InRhythm»
The expression «to be out of rhythm» amuses me enormously. First of all, because of its similarity to «to be out of fashion» which always makes me think of this husband that carries his wife (that has gone out of rhythm due to some midlife crisis or something) onto the attic like an old garment that has grown out of fashion. Secondly, I find it enormously ironic that my German-speaking fellows and I even dare to use this expression in the first place. Without wanting to hurt anyone’s feelings: But why exactly do we think we can be out of rhythm, while we’ve never really been in it?
