*Emden எமட்டன்*

*Emden எமட்டன்*
*அவன் பெரிய எமட்டன்*- *நெல்லை வழக்கு சொல்*

*Did you know that „Emden” in Tamil means „terrible person“. It comes from the German warship Emden which fired at Madras during First World War near north easternmost compound wall of Madras High Court . In Germany #Emden is a beautiful town of 50.000 inhabitants on the North Sea coast*.

*Actually in Tirunelveli slang emden means who gives a slip always.  I think the ships ability to reach within striking distance defying security,  is reflected in that usage*.
