There was a bit of language interference going on there.

You see, in North Frisian dialect, there's the noun "der/die Dead" (pronounced "day-add") that means, loosely translated, "a head of state who is unable to perform oral sex to the complete satisfaction of the recipient".*


(* There isn't really, at least as far as I know.)
