@mvc. It means to be "meticulous and thorough". In German....akribisch und gründlich.  ( according to Google translate) 

You may very well be German and a girl but I'm sure you are not stupid!! 😏

Thanks @lexi , but yes, completely stupid, this morning I went downtown by bicycle, of course through several red lights, as always, but this time I didn't notice the police car just behind me ... using my greatest charm I was able to defuse the situation ... phew!!! ...

@mvc I‘m just a German boy and feel with you. I guess the phrase means to finalize things, adding the last missing pieces. (Und das akribisch und gründlich)

edit: I only reacted to a message in my mail and didn’t realize that the case had been closed already. 🤦🏼

So kann man es auch sagen, @Herringbone, oder "pingelig sein, alles bis aufs i-Tüpfelchen genau machen."

@lexi I do not know if the word is translatable. I think there’s something like nit-picker in English. It describes someone who takes everything too precisely and discusses everything to the I-dots. Literally translated it means Crumb shitter, which sounds funny in German, too. Of course I didn’t refer to you with this, it just kind of fits to people who are described as being  „akribisch und gründlich“

@herringbone. I did study German in school for 3 years, in the early 70's. I don't think that word came up in our text books. 😉

@lexi Oh, you did! Nice! I should start to write in German then, the words comes way easier to me. 😉
