I vividly remember our teacher at university explaining "currying" in Lambda calculus and afterwards consistenly calling it "Schönfinkeln", which I think only works in German but sounds much more beautiful than "currying" :-D

Ha, my German professor did that too (Tübingen!). Also, I've heard the English equivalent "Schönfinkeling" sometimes.

Indeed, Mike Sperber and Volker Klaeren in Tübingen :) What a small world it is
