    Can anyone tell me what the German zerspratzt means?

    Question #17580. Asked by PH.D student. (Mar 23 02 3:43 PM)


    Tabby Tom

    		According to a German - English dictionary at www.xipolis.net, the verb 'zerspratzen' is used of red-hot volcanic lava, and means 'durch ploetzliches Entweichen von Gasen und Daempfen zerplatzen',i.e. 'to explode because of the sudden escape of gases and vapours'. Does this make any sense in the context you're dealing with?
