Any question answered...

Every time it's discussed it generates about a million paragraphs from Oliver that can be summarised as "no".

But TBH I think he's just making excuses because he doesn't like people inventing phrases and he's relying on the traditional British lack of second languages to stay one step ahead of us all.
As far as I remember, it's been discussed twice. The problem is that you just can't translate 'to skid' into German. That's it.
