معنی
To start a big discussion or make a fuss.
زمینه فرهنگی
In traditional German 'Kneipen', tapping a new barrel was a moment of celebration. The shift to a negative meaning (starting a fuss) shows how social gatherings can quickly turn from fun to loud arguments. Germans value efficiency. 'Ein Fass aufmachen' is often used as a criticism of people who 'waste time' with emotional or unnecessary debates during work hours.
Don't use with Bosses
Telling a superior 'Machen Sie kein Fass auf' is considered very disrespectful.
Use 'Riesenfass'
