Is this missing a slang sense of "cool"/"neat" ? If not there is an erroneous translation at clean#Adjective. DCDuring TALK 18:29, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"clean" is indeed slang in (American) english for "cool/neat/well-dressed" but I dont know if this applies as well in German language. The slang for English was prominent back in the 70-80s when Rufus Thomas a performer used to say the line "Aint Im Clean?" at his shows and such.
You say "sauber" in German in sense of "good, all right, well done, perfect, unproblematic". I've added that sense. It refers to actions or circumstances, not persons or things. So it's different from the English usage. 178.4.151.5 01:58, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
