mein
Wok-tossed wheat noodles
Mein is a German word meaning "my," most familiar to English speakers from *Mein Kampf*, Adolf Hitler's autobiographical manifesto.
In English contexts, mein appears almost exclusively in reference to that work or in ironic imitation of German: What's your mein problem?
