Frettchenvergnuegen!!!  to the max!  Just in case you don't know the
meaning of Lipinski's Americanized German, the expression
"Frettchenvergnuegen" is taken as meaning - the joy of ferrets.  And it has
two magnitudes: 1) the obvious joy and delight - happiness if you will -
displayed by the ferret itself, and 2) the joy we experience when we
observe and are a part of the ferret's action in which we also participate.
 
As an aside, historically the expression, "Frettchenvergnuegen" is the
product of theft by the thieving inclination of one folk by name of Drawde
Iksnipil, a backwards sort of troublemaker and pot stirrer who seems to
bedevil the community of ferretdom.  By theft I refer to the original
expression by the German car maker "Volkswagen," who some years ago used
the slogan in German to promote the "Peoples car," namely,
"Fahrvergnuegen." Translated to English it was taken to mean the joy of
driving, presumably a VW (of which I have three of them: two beetles and a
squareback)
 
Well Drawde Iksnipil simply removed that part of the expression which meant
"car" and substitued for it, the word "ferret" in the German language (das
Frettchen - Fretka in Polish - Kuroitachi in Japanese - Heenchockjaebe in
Korean - Le Furet in French and in Greek: Iktides) so that the combo
reduces to Frettchen + vergnuegen or "Frettchenvergnuegen."
 
By the way, native Germans don't like my bastardizing their language like
this.  A few Deutscher Volk have told me, "Ach Du Dummkopf, der ist no such
vort in Cherman!" I say in reply, "Jawohl, dass weiss ich schon." Yes
indeed, I know that already.
 
Now to experience Frettchenvergnuegen to the max, try this with your
fretka: make up some green grape flavored jello and after it jells put a
walnut sized glob of it on a vinyl floor or other clean and smooth surface.
Introduce your kuroitachi to it and stand back to watch Frettchenvergnuegen
in action!
 
Try it and let us on the net know your heenchockhjaebe's reaction.
Hooboy!
