It is a story which gives us far, far better reasons for remembering this attractive little town, which without these heroes would have been blown to smithereens in a gigantic explosion. (Two railwaymen lost their lives in 1944 when a wagon in an ammunition train caught fire and blew up, an even worse disaster was averted however.)

# Mops
## German
### Pronunciation

* IPA: /mɔps/

### Etymology 1

Borrowed from Dutch mops (“pug”). Further origin unsettled. Possibly a malicious use of mop (“German; Fritz; Kraut”), an early variant of mof. Alternatively from mopperen (“to grumble”), earlier also moppen, to which compare regional German möppern. The latter is plausible given the seemingly grumpy face of the dog.

#### Noun

Mops m (strong, genitive Mopses, plural Möpse)
* pug (dog)
* (colloquial) chubby person
* (colloquial, chiefly in the plural) boob; tit (woman’s breast)
** 1985, John Irving (translator anonymous), Laßt die Bären los! (original title: Setting Free the Bears, 1968), reprinted 2013, Diogenes Verlag AG, →ISBN, p. 39:
    »Mein linker Mops juckt«, flüsterte sie. »Ich habe eine Wagenladung Erde im BH.«“My left boob’s itchy,” she whispered. “There’s a truckload of ground in my bra.”
